Determine the maximum load P that can be applied to the brass bar of Prob. 2.55 if the allowable stress in the steel bars is 30 MPa and the allowable stress in the brass bar is 25 MPa.
2.55 Two steel bars (Es = 200 GPa and αs = 11.7 × 10-6/°C) are used to reinforce a brass bar (Eb = 105 GPa, αb = 20.9 × 10-6/°C) that is subjected to a load P = 25 kN. When the steel bars were fabricated, the distance between the centers of the holes that were to fit on the pins was made 0.5 mm smaller than the 2 m needed. The steel bars were then placed in an oven to increase their length so that they would just fit on the pins. Following fabrication, the temperature in the steel bars dropped back to room temperature. Determine (a) the increase in temperature that was required to fit the steel bars on the pins, (b) the stress in the brass bar after the load is applied to it.

- Required information Water initially at 200 kPa and 300°C is contained in a piston-cylinder device fitted with stops. The water is allowed to cool at constant pressure until it exists as a saturated vapor and the piston rests on the stops. Then the water continues to cool until the pressure is 100 kPa. NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Water 200 kPa 300°C On the T-V diagram, sketch, with respect to the saturation lines, the process curves passing through the initial, intermediate, and final states of the water. Label the T, P, and V values for end states on the process curves.
