Transcribed Image Text:### Description of Figure P3.3-16
The figure depicts a tapered bar subjected to gravitational force (denoted by \( g \)), aligned vertically with several dimensional markings:
- **Top Width**: \( 2b_0 \)
- **Bottom Width**: \( b_0 \)
- **Thickness**: \( t \)
- **Length**: \( L \)
### Problem 3.3-17
(a) **Objective**: Derive a formula for the elongation of the tapered bar shown in Figure P3.3-16. Consider its unstretched length as \( L \) and modulus of elasticity as \( E \).
(b) **Calculation Required**: Determine the elongation of the bar given specific parameters:
- Base width (\( b_0 \)): \( 25 \, \text{mm} \)
- Length (\( L \)): \( 10 \, \text{m} \)
- Modulus of elasticity (\( E \)): \( 200 \, \text{GPa} \)
- Specific weight (\( \gamma \)): \( 77 \, \text{kN/m}^3 \)
This exercise involves understanding material deformation under the influence of gravity, calculating distortion based on specified material and structural properties.
