8. Design Problem: A material is needed to support a hanging sculpture with an overall
tensile load of 800 N. It is important that the material not undergo any permanent
deformation under this load and must have minimum volume/diameter. Using a circular
rod, design structural components using your data for each of the three materials. Which
material would you choose for the application and why? If the requirement was minimum
weight, rather than minimum volume, which material would you use? Show sample
calculations.
What are Rigid Bodies and their examples.
Plastics may exhibit a change in properties as they age, particularly when subjected to elevated temperatures. Material properties such as tensile strength will increase with an increasing temperature as a function of increasing time. True or false.

- Lenora Manufacturing company is planning to market enamel cups. After conducting extensive market surveys, the research department provides the following estimates: a monthly demand of 200 cups at a price of $16 per cup and a monthly demand of 300 cups at a price of $14 per cup. The financial department estimates that monthly fixed costs will be $1,400 and variable costs (cost per unit) will be $4. (a) Assume that the relationship between price p and demand x is linear.
