Question
A 15-kips homogeneous, rigid block is supported by three symmetrical rods as shown in the figure.
a. If the temperature increases by 100°F, determine the stress in each rod after the block is attached
assuming the lower ends of the rods were at the same level before the block was attached.
b. Calculate the temperature increase that would cause the entire weight of the block to be carried by the
steel rods.
Steel
A= 0.75 in
E= 29 x 10° psi
a = 6.5 x 10*/"F
Steel
Bronze
A= 1.5 in
E-12 x 10° psi
a = 10 x 10/F
A = 0.75 in?
E- 29 х 10° psi
a = 6.5 x 10* /"F
