Question

OUESTION 3 a) The horizontal steel rod, 2.5 m long and

1200mm^(2)

in cross-sectional area, is securbs, between two walls as shown in Figure Q3a. If the rod is stress-free at

20\deg C

, compule the stress when the temperature has dropped to

-20\deg C

. Assume that the walls do not move. [2 marks] b) The rigid bar of negligible weight is pinned at

O

and attached to two vertical rods as shown in Figure Q3b. Assuming that the rods were initially stress-free. If

P=20

kN

, determine: i. The normal stresses in each of the members ii. The vertical deflection of the

A
