Ans.
2–2. A thin strip of rubber has an unstretched length of
15 in. If it is stretched around a pipe having an outer diameter of 5 in., determine the average normal strain in the strip.

2–3. The rigid beam is supported by a pin at A and wires
BD and CE. If the load P on the beam causes the end C to be displaced 10 mm downward, determine the normal strain developed in wires CE and BD.
