- A rigid block weighs 160 kip and supported by three posts of equal length. Assume E₁ = EB = 3.2x104 ksi, Ec= 1.6x104 ksi, ac = 1x10-7/°F, and all posts have a cross-sectional area of 16 in². If post C is heated by 160 °F, determine the average normal stress developed in post A? A с B 3 ft 3 ft - A rigid block weighs 160 kip and supported by three posts of equal length.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To determine the average normal stress developed in post A when post C is heated by 160 F we can use the principle of thermal expansion and the concep... View the full answer
