Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1RQ
What is the key element that influences the properties of iron?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The key element that influence the properties of iron
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Alloying element influence the properties of iron
Explanation of Solution
Iron is found in the earth’s crust in large quantities. It is pure, ductile and has good magnetic properties but undergoes rusting easily. To improve the characteristics of iron, alloying elements are added to it so that it can be used commercially. Elements like manganese, sulfur, silicon and phosphorus are added to iron.

- 1. The beam is supported by a roller constraint at B, which allows vertical displacement but resists axial load and moment. If the bar is subjected to the loading shown and constant El (L = 12 ft, E = 3100 ksi, I = 1728 in (rectangular section 12"x12"), w = 1 klf).

First, solve this problem parametrically, and then substitute the numerical values for L, E, I, w at the end. There will be a significant penalty for solutions that do not calculate the slope and deflection as parametric functions. c.
