The bar below is subjected to uniaxial tension. Assuming that the bar material behaves elastically, determine the change in length and change in cross-sectional dimensions due to application of the load, P. Assume E = 200 GPa and ν = 0.32.

A jet plane taking off creates a noise with a magnitude of approximately 125 dB. What is the magnitude of the pressure disturbance (in Pa)?

We have used an experimental setup similar to Example 10.1 to determine the value of a spring constant. The deflection caused by the corresponding weights are given in the accompanying table. What is the value of the spring constant? Weight (lb) The Deflection of the Spring (in.) 5.0 0.48 10.0 1.00 15.0 1.90 20.0 2.95

Bourdon-type pressure gauges are used in thousands of applications. A deadweight tester is a device that is used to calibrate pressure gauges. Investigate the operation of a deadweight pressure tester. Write a brief report to discuss your findings.

SAE 30 oil is contained in a cylinder with inside diameter of 1 in. and length of 1 ft. What is the pressure required to decrease the volume of the oil by 2%?
