The rod is attached to the tube through the rigid collar at B and passes through the tube. The cross-sectional area of the rod is 75 mm2 and the cross-sectional area of the tube is 400 + UV in mm2, where UV is 99. A tensile load of 80 kN is applied to the rod. Take Est = 200 GPa for the steel rod, Eal = 70 GPa for the aluminum tube. Determine: (a) the displacement of end C with respect to end B (i.e., the elongation of the steel rod), (b) the displacement of end B with respect to the fixed end A (i.e., the shrink of the aluminum tube), (c) the displacement of the end C of the rod (i.e., (a) + (b)).arrow_forward
