Mechanics of Materials

Situation
A 12-m pole is fixed at its base and is subjected to uniform lateral load of 600 N/m. The pole is made-up of hollow steel tube 273 mm in outside diameter and 9 mm thick.

A.   0.96 C.   1.39
B.   1.93 D.   0.69

2.   Calculate the maximum tensile stress (MPa).

A.   96.0 C.   60.9
B.   69.0 D.   90.6

3.   Calculate the force (kN) required at the free end to restrain the displacement.

A.   2.7 C.   27
B.   7.2 D.   72

 

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
