a bar of solid circular cross section is loaded in tension by forces p. the bar has length l=16in and diameter 0.50in. the material is a magnessium alloy having modulus of elasticity E=6.4*10^6 psi. the allowable stress in tension is epsillon allow=17000psi and the elongation of the bar must not exceed 0.04 in. what is the allowable value of the forces p?

Respuesta :

Answer:3142 Pound force

Explanation:

Given

Length(L)=16 in.

diameter=0.5 in.

Modulus of elasticity (E)[tex]=6.4\times 10^6 psi.[/tex]

Allowable stress [tex]\left ( \sigma _{allowable}\right )=17000 psi[/tex]

Max elongation of the bar =0.04 in.

Also we Know

Elongation is given

[tex]\Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}[/tex]

where

P=Force applied

L=length of bar

A=Cross-section

E=Modulus of Elasticity

[tex]A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{\pi}{16} in.^2[/tex]

[tex]0.04=\frac{P\times 16\times 16}{\pi \times 6.4\times 10^6}[/tex]

[tex]P=3142 pound\ force\approx 13.976 kN[/tex]

corresponding stress is [tex]\frac{3142}{\frac{\pi }{16}}=16,000 psi[/tex]

Which is less than Allowable stress

thus allowable value of Force P is 3142 Pound force or 13.976 kN

The allowable value of the forces P is; 3142 lb.f

How to find the force in a bar?

We are given;

Length; L = 16 in.

Diameter; d = 0.5 in.

Modulus of elasticity; E = 6.4 × 10⁶ psi

Allowable stress; σ_allow = 17000 psi

Max elongation of the bar; ΔL =0.04 in.

Formula for elongation is;

ΔL = PL/AE

A is area = πd²/4 = π × 0.5²/4 = π/16 in²

Making P the subject gives;

P = (ΔL * A * E)/L

P = (0.04 * (π/16) * 6.4 × 10⁶)/16

P = 3142 lb.f
