Question
a) What is the stress in the bronze rod (in MPa)?
b) What is the stress in the steel rod (in MPa)?

Transcribed Image Text:The rigid bar ABC is supported by a pin at B and two vertical steel rods. Initially
the bar is horizontal and the rods are stress-free. Find the stress in each rod if
the temperature rises 30°C after a load W = 125 kN is applied. The coefficients of
linear expansion are 11.7 um/(m-°C) for steel and 18.9 pm/(m-°C) for bronze.
Bronze
L = 3 m
A = 1300 mm?
E = 83 GPa
Steel
L = 1.5 m
A = 320 mm?
E = 200 GPa
