Piano strings are made of a fibre which is pulled taut. When the string is tapped in the centre by a striker the resonance produces a musical note. The bending of the string causes a strain of up to 0.2% and a stress of up to 100 MPa. Based on the function and requirements of a piano string and the properties listed (E = tensile modulus, oy = yield stress, &f = failure strain, p = density), which of the following materials would you choose? O a. polypropylene (E = 1.5GPa, oy = 40MPa, &f = 100%, p = 0.9 g/cm³) O b. aluminium (E = 70GPa, oy = 40MPa, &ƒ = 50%, p = 2.7 g/cm³) polyethylene (E = 1GPa, oy = 20MPa, &f=200%, p = 0.9g/cm³) O c. O d. steel (E = 210GPa, σy = 680MPa, &f = 5%, p = 7.8 g/cm³) e. silica glass (E = 94GPa, oy =7,000 MPa, &f = 0.1%, p = 2.6 g/cm³)

The pin-connected structure shown in the figure consists of a rigid beam ABCD and two supporting bars. Bar (1) is a bronze alloy [E = 94 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A₁ = 280 mm2. Bar (2) is an aluminum alloy [E = 71 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A2 = 590 mm². All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied; however, there is a 3-mm clearance in the pin connection at A. Assume L₁ = 1840 mm, a = 880 mm, b = 540 mm, c = 430 mm, and L₂ = 1340 mm.
