A stainless steel tube with an outside diameter of 54 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm is used as a compression member. If the axial stress in the member must be limited to 348 MPa, determine the maximum load P that the member can support.

If a uniform distributed load w = 73 lb/ft and concentrated load P = 530 lb are applied to the beam as shown, determine the vertical reaction force at B. Assume a = 14.0 ft and b = 6.0 ft.

Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods shown. If P = 31 kN, Q = 21 kN, and R = 28 kN, determine the absolute value of the axial load in rod (3).

A rigid steel bar is supported by three rods as shown. There is no strain in the rods before the load P is applied. After load P is applied, the normal strain in rods (1) is 2,350 μm/m. Assume initial rod lengths of L1 = 1,250 mm and L2 = 2,000 mm. Determine the normal strain in rod (2).

The beam is supported by rod (1) and a pin at C. Assume L = 1.0 m and θ = 40°. For a uniformly distributed load of w = 3.1 kN/m, determine the force in rod (1).

A silicone rubber [ν = 0.49] wristband has an initial length of 90 mm and a width of 12 mm. If the wearer stretches the length by 25 mm while putting it on, what is the corresponding change in width?

If a uniform distributed load w = 98 lb/ft and concentrated load P = 580 lb are applied to the beam as shown, determine the vertical reaction force at B. Assume a = 14.0 ft and b = 5.6 ft.

A cylindrical steel rod with a diameter of 0.560 in. and a length of 4.0 in. sits on a base that has a 0.7-in. gap at its middle. If a 15.1-kip load is applied above the gap, determine the shear stress in the rod.
