A steel [E = 30,700 ksi, α = 6.9×10–6/°F] bar is held between two rigid supports. The bar is stress free at a temperature of 62°F. The bar is then heated uniformly. If the yield strength of the steel is 48 ksi, determine the temperature at which yield first occurs.

Rigid bar ABC is supported by pin-connected axial member (1) and by a pin connection at C as shown. A 6,300-lb concentrated load is applied to the rigid bar at A. Member (1) is a 3.45-in. wide by 1.70-in. thick rectangular bar made of steel with a yield strength of σY = 38.5 ksi. The pin at C has an ultimate shear strength of τult = 60 ksi. Determine the factor of safety in member (1) with respect to its yield strength.

The bell crank shown is supported by a single shear pin connection at B and a roller support at C. An external load of P = 2,000 lb at an angle of θ = 53° acts on the bell crank at A. The pin at B has a diameter of d = 0.875 in., and the ultimate shear strength of the pin material is σU = 60,000 psi. Use dimensions of a = 17.0 in. and b = 8.0 in.What is the factor of safety of pin B with respect to its ultimate shear strength?

A load of P = 465 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) is made of brass [E = 15,700 ksi] and has a circular cross section with a diameter of 1.17 in. Determine the magnitude of the change in length of bar (1) due to the load. Let a = 36 in., b = 14 in., and c = 11 in.

An aluminum [E = 10,000 ksi] control rod with a circular cross section must not stretch more than 0.37 in. when the tension in the rod is 2,300 lb. If the diameter of the rod is 0.378 in., determine the maximum length of the rod.
