Question: A 3 0 - inch - long rod having a 4 - inch diameter is mounted to a floor, as shown in the elevation view

A 30-inch-long rod having a 4-inch diameter is mounted to a floor, as shown in the elevation
view shown below. The rod is made of a 12-inch-long composite section (Section AB )
consisting of a 2-inch-diameter copper core rigidly bonded to an outer aluminum shell, as well
as a 18-inch-long all steel section (Section BC) that is 4 inches in diameter. The entire 30-inch
rod is subjected to a temperature increase of 75F(30PTS) :
a) Calculate the magnitude of the force developed in the composite section (Section AB ) due
to the temperature increase. [10 PTS]
b) Calculate the normal stress that develops in the copper core at point x due to the
temperature increase and state whether it is tensile or compressive. [5+2=7 PTS]
c) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the movement (deflection) of free end A of the
rod due to the temperature change. Show the direction using an arrow. 8+2=10PTS
d) Calculate the normal stress that develops in the steel rod at point Y due to the temperature
increase. [3 PTS]
Notes:
The copper core and aluminum shell in section AB are rigidly bonded to each other
and therefore must move together.
