Problem 264
A steel rod 3 feet long with a cross-sectional area of 0.25 in.2 is stretched between two fixed points. The tensile force is 1200 lb at 40°F. Using E = 29 × 106 psi and α= 6.5 × 10-6 in./(in.·°F), calculate (a) the temperature at which the stress in the bar will be 10 ksi; and (b) the temperature at which the stress will be zero. Solution 264
(a) Without temperature change:
A drop of temperature is needed to increase the stress to 10 ksi. See figure above.
Required temperature: (temperature must drop from 40°F) answer (b) From the figure below:
