Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,335 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 10 in., b = 13 in., c = 32 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

An upward load is applied to a square rod that has a width of 10.04 mm. The rod is connected to the ground using a pin that has a diameter of 9.48 mm. If the average shear stress in the pin is limited to 145 MPa, determine the maximum load that can be applied to this connection.

A force of P = 25 N is applied to a lever at the end of a composite shaft. Sleeve (1) has a polar moment of inertia of 108,000 mm4 and a shear modulus of 0.7 GPa. Core (2) has a polar moment of inertia of 23,000 mm4 and a shear modulus of 1.8 GPa. Determine the torque produced in core (2). Let a = b = 205 mm.
