Tension Rod

Cross-Sectional Dimensions of Steel Rod to Elongate 1-mm when Subjected to 8,000 kg of Tension Force

Problem
A tensile load of 8000 kg elongates a 1-m long square rod by 1 mm. Steel modulus of elasticity is 2 × 106 kg/cm2. What is the dimension of a side of the rod?

A.   5 cm C.   2 cm
B.   1 cm D.   4 cm

 

Problem 733 | Cantilever beam with moment load at the free end and supported by a rod at midspan

Problem 733
The load P in Prob. 732 is replaced by a counterclockwise couple M. Determine the maximum value of M if the stress in the vertical rod is not to exceed 150 MPa.

Problem 731 | Cantilever beam supported by cable at the free-end

Problem 731
The beam shown in Fig. P-731 is connected to a vertical rod. If the beam is horizontal at a certain temperature, determine the increase in stress in the rod if the temperature of the rod drops 90°F. Both the beam and the rod are made of steel with E = 29 × 106 psi. For the beam, use I = 154 in.4
