In females, the first sign of puberty is usually the onset of breast development.

Two plates are connected with two bolts and transmit load P = 5.9 kN. Each plate is 4.1 mm thick, and each bolt has a diameter of 11.0 mm. Determine the average shear stress in the bolts.

In an ecosystem what cycles?  

A steel [E = 215 GPa, ν = 0.298] rod with a circular cross section is used as a weight hanger. The straight part of the rod is 135-mm long and has a diameter of 5.0 mm. Determine the magnitude of the lateral strain in this portion of the rod when it supports a tensile load of 9.8 N.

A square that was initially a x a in size is deformed into the following shape. If a = 24 mm, b = 12 mm, and c = 21 mm, determine the magnitude of the shear strain at A. (Use the small-angle approximation sin γ ≈ tan γ ≈ γ.)

A steel [E = 190 GPa, ν = 0.250] rod with a circular cross section is used as a weight hanger. The straight part of the rod is 170-mm long and has a diameter of 4.6 mm. Determine the magnitude of the lateral strain in this portion of the rod when it supports a tensile load of 8.8 N.

A load of 12 kN is applied through a pin connection and a square bearing plate to the end of a beam that has a rectangular cross section. The base of the beam’s cross section is 68 mm and the height is 200 mm. The size of the bearing plate is 88 mm. Determine the bearing stress between the plate and the beam.
