An upward load is applied to a circular rod that has a diameter of 10.12 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.52 mm. If the normal stress in the rod is limited to 255 MPa and the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 170 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

A load of P = 475 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) is made of aluminum [E = 10,300 ksi; ν = 0.32] and has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.76 in. Determine the magnitude of the normal strain in bar (1). Let a = 38 in., b = 15 in., and c = 10 in.

A steel [E = 200 GPa; ν = 0.3; α = 10.9 ×10-6/°C] plate has a rectangular hole at its center and four circular holes at the corners. At an initial temperature of Ti = –10°C, the plate is 95 mm wide, 135 mm long, and 11 mm thick. The rectangular hole is 30 mm wide and 65 mm long. The circular holes have a diameter of 17 mm. At a final temperature of Tf = 43°C, determine the width of the rectangular hole.

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,829 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 10 in., b = 16 in., c = 32 in., and d = 10 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.
