Question: Problem # 2 - Stress and Strain Analysis ( 1 5 points total, 3 parts ) A 2 0 - foot - long structural steel

Problem #2- Stress and Strain Analysis (15 points total, 3 parts)
A 20-foot-long structural steel bar is tensed along its centroidal axis. Point B is tensed by 47 kips of force and point C is tensed by 147 kips of force. The bar has a rectangular cross-section with a base of 1.8 inches and height of 3 inches. The steel is ASTM HSLC steel with a yield stress, y=50 ksi and modulus of elasticity, E=30,000ksi. Show all work and any assumptions on the provided calculation sheet. Record your answers on the answer key. Complete the following:
Part A (6 Points): Calculate the axial stress in sections AB and BC of the beam. Does the calculated stress in either section exceed the yield stress of the steel?
Part B (6 Points): Calculate the deformation in sections AB and BC of the beam. What is the total axial deformation that the beam experiences? What is the final length of the beam?
Part C (3 Points): The allowable stress in the beam is 29.9 ksi , calculate the factor of safety the beam was designed for.
