You, a person weighing 100 kg, are offered an opportunity to earn $10M (ten million $) by simply hanging from a rope for one minute. The rope is attached to the end of a glass sheet, 300 cm long by 10 cm wide by 0.127 cm thick (see figure below). Complicating the situation is the fact that: 1) The glass sheet contains a central, through thickness crack with total length of 0.162 cm that is oriented parallel to the ground. The fracture toughness of the glass is 0.83MPA m; 2) The rope is suspended 1.5m above a pit of deadly poisonous snakes. Would you care to try for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? (Your reasoning is required!

If the temperature of the bar is raised from 25°C to 75°C, find the stresses induced in each rod by assuming (a) if the supports do not yield and (b) if the supports yield by 0.25 mm. Take E1= 200 kN/mm2, E2 = 30 kN/mm2, E3 = 100 kN/mm2, And, a1= 1.2 x 10-5/°C, a2= 1.8 x 10-5/°C d3= 1.6 x 10-5/°C Q3/ * 0= 150 mm 0= 100 mm 0= 50 mm Figure 2 200 mm 300 mm 500 mm (1) 01= 194.78 N/mm2, a2= 48.7 N/mm2, 03= 21.64 N/mm2/(2) 01= 133.14 N/mm2, 02 33.28 N/mm2, a3= 14.79 N/mm2 (1) 01- 184 3anm2, 92- 44.73 N/mm2. 03- 24.64 N/min2/ (2) a1 143.14 N/mm2 o2 36 21 N/mm2, 03-14.79 N/mm2 (1) a1- 190.28 N/mm2, 02 48.26 N/mm2,
A steel rod with a diameter of 25 mm and 831 mm long is heated to 203 °C from an initial temperature of 25 °C. Steel has a modulus of elasticity and coefficient of thermal expansion of 200 GPa and 11.7 x 10-6 /°C respectively. Determine the change in length in millimeters.
Determine the instantaneous stress and elongation of a 30 mm diameter bar if a mass of 60 kg falls through a height of 60 mm on to a collar which is rigidly attached to the bottom end of the bar as shown in Figure Q2. The bar is 1.2 m long and is suspended vertically. The Modulus of elasticity, E, for the material of bar is 210 GPa. Take g = 10 m/s2.
The 40mm diameter steel rod AB shown in Figure 2 is resting on frictionless rollers between two steel plates. End A is just touching the left hand steel plate. 2. Steel plate | A B Steel plate 1500mm Imm Figure 2 There is a gap of 1mm between the end B and the right hand side steel plate. The temperature of the rod increases by an amount AT and this increase in temperature causes the two ends of the rod to press against the steel plates. This action causes the right hand steel plate to move to the right by 0.5mm while the left hand plate does not move. The Young's modulus value for steel is 210,000N/mm?. Taking any assumptions that you deem necessary calculate the increase in temperature AT required to cause the rod to buckle.
