Question: A steel E = 2 9 , 2 0 0 ksi; = 6 . 2 1 0 - 6 F pipe column ( 1 )

A steel E=29,200ksi;=6.210-6F pipe column (1) with a cross-sectional area of A1=5.10 in..?2 is connected at flange B to an
aluminum alloy E=10,400ksi;=13.110-6F pipe (2) with a cross-sectional area of A2=3.90in.?2. The assembly (shown in the
figure) is connected to rigid supports at A and C. It is initially unstressed at a temperature of 88F. Assume L1=135in.,L2=173in.,P=
39 kips.
(a) At what temperature will the normal stress in steel pipe (1) be reduced to zero?
(b) Determine the normal stresses (positive if tensile, negative if compressive) in steel pipe (1) and aluminum pipe (2) when the
temperature reaches -17F.
A steel E = 2 9 , 2 0 0 ksi; = 6 . 2 1 0 - 6 F
