Given a 10-inch bar with a variable cross-sectional area defined as A = (1 + 0.1x) in², where x increases from 0 to 10, along its 10-inch length; and with a modulus of elasticity E equal to 12 x 106 psi. Determine the normal stress of the bar at x = 6 in. and its total change in length if the bar is subject to an axial tensile force of 20 kips.
