Question: 1 0 - 2 . While the bolt is at a temperature of 2 3 C , the bolt below is under a tension of

10-2. While the bolt is at a temperature of 23C, the bolt below is under a tension of 2,400N holding together two pieces of custom-made steel. The bolt has a diameter of 0.635cm, is 6.000cm long, and is made of A572, Grade 50 steel. Furthermore, the distances are l1=2.660cm and l2=0.950cm. Let the two pieces of steel being held together have a zero coefficient of thermal expansion. This connection is being made within a cryogenic system causing it to experience large temperature variations. Determine if the bolt will return to a tension of 2,400N if it is cooled to -210C for a long period of time, then, reheated to 23C.
