Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,533 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 12 in., c = 30 in., and d = 11 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A load is applied to the central portion of a double-shear cutting fixture. Determine the load required to shear through a piece of brass that has length of 3.00 in., a semi-circular diameter of 0.790 in., and an average shear stress capacity of 22 ksi.

What are the stages of culturally related behaviors in the cultural continuum?

A load of P = 110 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) has a circular cross section with a diameter of 1.18 in. Determine the normal stress in bar (1). Let a = 29 in., b = 14 in., and c = 9 in.

A load of P = 160 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.92 in. Determine the normal stress in bar (1). Let a = 38 in., b = 13 in., and c = 8 in.

A steel [E = 200 GPa; ν = 0.3; α = 10.8 ×10-6/°C] plate has a rectangular hole at its center and four circular holes at the corners. At an initial temperature of Ti = –14°C, the plate is 90 mm wide, 150 mm long, and 20 mm thick. The rectangular hole is 30 mm wide and 75 mm long. The circular holes have a diameter of 21 mm. At a final temperature of Tf = 46°C, determine the width of the plate.

A Ro-Tel can weighs 0.70 lb and is 2.55 in. in diameter. A Libby’s can weighs 1.03 lb and is 2.85 in. in diameter. What is the largest bearing stress that occurs between the cans and the table? Assume each can has a smooth base and sits flat on the table.

An upward load is applied to a circular rod that has a diameter of 10.51 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.91 mm. If the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 180 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

A Ro-Tel can weighs 0.79 lb and is 2.50 in. in diameter. A Libby’s can weighs 1.05 lb and is 2.94 in. in diameter. What is the largest bearing stress that occurs between the cans and the table? Assume each can has a smooth base and sits flat on the table.

A triangular piece of rubber is stretched causing A to move downward. Determine the magnitude of the shear strain that occurs at A when a = 29.6 mm, b = 59.2 mm, and c = 37.0 mm.
