You are watching a new bridge being built near your house. You notice during the construction that two concrete spans of the bridge of total length L; = 220 m are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (figure (a)). In the opening storyline for the thermodynamics chapter, we talked about buckling sidewalks. The same thing will happen with spans on bridges if allowance is not made for expansion (figure (b)). You want to warn the construction crew about this dangerous situation, so you calculate the height y to which the spans will rise when they buckle in response to a temperature increase of AT = 21.0°C. ✓ T T+AT L

Two wires, one of aluminum (YAI = 7.00*1010 Pa) and one of steel (Ysteel = 2.10*1010 Pa) support a uniform beam of length 2.00 m and mass 1.00*103 kg. If the aluminum wire is placed on one end, %D how far from the center of mass must the steel wire be placed such that the wires have an equal elongation AL ? The aluminum and steel wires begin with the same length. The diameters of both wires are 2.50 mm.
Problem 4: Buoyancy I Pontoon bridges use buoyant forces to support loads. This problem will ask you to consider a 10 ft section of the pontoon bridge sketched below. The bridge deck is 4 ft wide, and each 10 ft section has five 55 gallon drums on each side. Each drum has a diameter of 22 in, so the cross-sectional area of each drum is 2.64 ft², and each drum is 2.79 ft tall. Assume the bridge deck and the bracing system for the drums weigh 2300 lb per 10 ft section but occupy negligible volume. The bridge floats in water with y = 62.3 lb/ft³. Part A What is the cross-sectional area of all ten drums? [ft²] Part B What is the volume of all ten drums? [ft³] Part C When the bridge is unloaded, what length of the drums will be underwater?
