Question
When an axial load is applied to the ends of the two-
segment rod shown in Figure P2.1, the total elongation
between joints A and C is 7.5 mm. The segment lengths
are a = 1.2 m and b = 2.8 m. In segment (2), the normal
strain is measured as 2,075 um/m. Determine:
(a) the elongation of segment (2).
(b) the normal strain in segment (1) of the rod.
(Ans. to check: Normal strain (1) = 825uE
