STRENGTH OF MATERIAL
Relations between externally applied loads and their internal effects on bodies.
The deformations, however small, are of major interest.
P STATICS assumes that the material (bar
and cable) supporting the load is rigid.
The only concern is the magnitude of the
kg reaction (P) that shall maintain
equilibrium.

NORMAL STRESS
The strength of a material per unit area or unit strength.
It is the force on member divided by area, which carries the
force, formerly express in psi, now in
D= 119.36 mm
2. A homogeneous 800 kg bar AB is supported W=800 kg. (9.81)
at either end by a cable as shown in Fig. P-105. W= 7848 N
Calculate the smallest area of each cable if the
stress is not to exceed 90 MPa in bronze and
120 MPa in steel.
3. Determine the largest weight W
that can be supported by two wires
shown in Fig. P-109. The stress in
either wire is not to exceed 30 ksi.
The cross-sectional areas of wires AB
and AC are 0.4 in2 and 0.5 in2,
respectively.
4. Find the stresses in
members BC, BD, and CF for
the truss shown in Fig. P-
113. Indicate the tension or
compression. The cross-
sectional area of each
member is 1600 mm2.
PRACTICE PROBLEM:
A rod is composed of an aluminum section rigidly
attached between steel and bronze sections.
Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated.
If P= 3000 lb. and the cross-section area of the
rod is 0.5
