What penile pathology is most likely represented in this image?

A load of 18 kN is applied through a pin connection and a square bearing plate to the end of a beam that has a rectangular cross section. The base of the beam’s cross section is 76 mm and the height is 160 mm. The size of the bearing plate is 94 mm. Determine the bearing stress between the plate and the beam.

A square that was initially a x a in size is deformed into the following shape. If a = 24 mm, b = 12 mm, and c = 21 mm, determine the magnitude of the shear strain at A. (Use the small-angle approximation sin γ ≈ tan γ ≈ γ.)

The rigid beam BC is supported by rods (1) and (2). For a uniformly distributed load of w = 4.5 kN/m, determine the force in rod (1). Assume a = 2.10 m and L = 3.30 m.

Rigid pipe (2) is supported by a pin connection at C and tie rod (1). The structure supports a load P = 19 kN at pin B. Assume x1 = 3.7 m, x2 = 2.4 m, and y1 = 4.2 m. Determine the force in tie rod (1).

Before an automotive engine is started, its timing belt has a length of 36.00 in. and a temperature of 60°F. At the engine operating temperature of 220°F, it is determined that the belt has elongated to 36.04 in. What is the coefficient of thermal expansion of the belt?

Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods shown. If F1 = 31 kips, F2 = 17 kips, F3 = 23 kips, and F4 = 38 kips, determine the absolute value of the axial load in rod (2).

What pathology is noted in the following image:

Rigid pipe (2) is supported by a pin connection at C and tie rod (1). The structure supports a load P = 19 kN at pin B. Assume x1 = 2.8 m, x2 = 1.7 m, and y1 = 3.5 m. Determine the force in tie rod (1).

Two plates are connected with four bolts and transmit load P = 4.5 kN. Each plate is 5.2 mm thick, and each bolt has a diameter of 9.4 mm. Determine the average shear stress in the bolts.
