2- A steel bar ABCD consists of three sections: AB is of 20mm diameter and 200
mm long, BC is 25 mm square and 400 mm long, and CD is of 12 mm diameter and
200mm long. The bar is subjected to an axial compressive load which induces a
stress of 30 MN/m2 on the largest cross-section. Determine the total decrease in the
length of the bar when the load is applied. For steel E = 210GN/m2 .
3- A solid cylinder of diameter d carries an axial load P. Show that its change in
diameter is 4Pν / πEd.
4- A rigid bar of negligible mass, pinned at one end, is supported by a steel rod and
a bronze rod as shown in Fig. below. What maximum load P can be applied without
exceeding a stress in the steel of 120 MN/m2 or in the bronze of 70 MN/m2 ?
