Consider the copper tubes joined below using a "sweated" joint. Use the properties and dimensions given.
(a) Find the total elongation of segment 2-3-4 (δ2-4) for an applied tensile force of P = 5 kN. Use Ec = 120 GPa.
(b) If the yield strength in shear of the tin-lead solder is y = 30 MPa and the tensile yield strength of the copper is σy = 200 MPa, what is the maximum load Pmax that can be applied to the joint if the desired factor of safety in shear is FSτ = 2 and in tension is FSσ = 1.7?
(c) Find the value of L2 at which tube and solder capacities are equal.
