A hollow, brass circular pipe ABC (see figure) supports a load P1 = 26.5 kips acting at the top. A second load P2 = 22.0 kips is uniformly distributed around the cap plate at B. The diameters and thicknesses of the upper and lower parts of the pipe are dAB = 1.25 in., tAB = 0.5 in., dBC = 2.25 in., and tAB = 0.375 in., respectively. The modulus of elasticity is 14,000 ksi. When both loads are fully applied, the wall thickness of pipe BC increases by 200 3 10-6 in.
(a) Find the increase in the inner diameter of pipe segment BC.
(b) Find Poisson's ratio for the brass.
(c) Find the increase in the wall thickness of pipe segment AB and the increase in the inner diameter of AB.
