Question: ( 3 pts ) Strain. A short compression member 3 in , by 3 in . in cross - section and 1 4 in .

(3 pts) Strain. A short compression member 3 in , by 3 in. in cross-section and 14 in. long is subjected to a 60,000lb axial compressive load. As a result, the length of the member is shortened to 10.50 in . Compute the strain in the member. - Hint: useful example 9.14.
(4 pts) Shear Stress. In the bolted connection of Figure below, assume that the bolts are 1 in. diameter and that the allowable shear stress for the bolts is 16,000. Based on bolt shear only, compute the safe allowable load P that may be applied - Hint: useful example 9.9.
(4 pts ) The relation between stress and strain. A 30-foot-long steel rod is subjected to a tensile load of 17,500lb. The rod has a diameter of 1 in . The proportional limit for steel is 34,000 and the modulus of elasticity E=29,000,000 psi. Compute (a) the tensile stress, (b) the strain, and (c) the total elongation. -Hint: useful examples 9.16.
(4 pts) Factor of Safety. A short, solid compression member of the circular cross-section is to support a load of 130 kips . Determine the minimum required diameter for this member based on (direct) compressive stress. The member is to be made of gray cast 1 iron. Use a factor of safety of 2.0 against compression failure.-Hint: 1) use ultimate (compression) strength as the failure stress, which can be found in textbook Appendix G, and 2) useful examples 10.6.
