  1. An aluminium rod is a total of 900mm long and 50mm in diameter. Part of this bar is turned down to 40mm diameter for a length of 50mm each end.

Calculate the total elongation when subjected to an axial pull of 12kN.

Also calculate the factor of safety at this load and verify that the factor of safety is within the acceptable range.

E =f/e f= F/A e= X/I (O) FS = UTS/f (w)
