A rod consisting of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is restrained at both ends. Portion AB is made of steel (E5?=200GPa and a5?=11.7×10?6/C) and portion BC is made of brass (Eb?=105GPa and ab?=20.9×10?6/C). Knowing that the rod is initially unstressed, determine the magnitude of the compressive force induced in ABC when there is a temperature rise of 55?C. The magnitude of the compressive force induced in ABC is kN.
