At room temperature (200C) a 0.5-mm gap
exists between the ends of the rods shown.
At a later time when the temperature has
reached 140OC, determine (a) the normal
stress in the aluminum rod, (b) the change in
length of the aluminum rod. (c) If the
temperature is allowed to go up continuously,
which rod would fail first? At what
temperature would failure occur? Given the
ultimate stress (in compression) for steel is
500 MPa for steel and 350 MPa for aluminum
(Typo in figure: Coefficient of thermal
expansion for aluminum is 23 x 10-6/oC).

Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0m.
