The assembly shown in the figure consists of 10 mm diameter titanium (E = 125 GPa) rods AB and CD, which are anchored to the wall, a 15 mm diameter stainless steel (E = 200 GPa) rod EF, and a rigid plate G. When the axial loads are applied to the plate and to the hook at F, the length of the entire assembly changes 5 mm (it either increases or decreases in length). Note: Dimensions shown are for the unloaded assembly, and you can assume the material remains in the elastic region when loaded. Also since the plate G is rigid, its thickness doesn't change when the loads are applied. a. Determine P 300 mm 450 mm b. When the loads are applied, does F move to the right or to the left? A one word response is all that is necessary, but it must be consistent with your calculations of part a. B. E 4P c. Does the diameter of rod AB increase or decrease when the loads are applied? Briefly justify your answer – a response of only ´increase' or 'decrease' gets no credit. No calculations are necessary.
