QUESTION : A long slender two-force member of cross-sectional area 2.17 mm2 is preloaded with a tensile force of 0.44 kN. A strain gauge is then applied to the member which is subject to time-varying loading with reading varying from -241 micro-strain to 50 micro-strain. Determine the minimum stress in the member in units of MPa.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Every material is elastic in nature; therefore, whenever some external force is applied, it undergoes some amount of deformation and its molecules set up some resistance to deformation. This resistance per unit area to deformation is known as stress.

As already mentioned, whenever a single force is acting on a body, it undergoes deformation. This deformation per unit length is known as strain.
