A vertical, solid steel post 39 cm in diameter and 3.30 m long is required to support a load of 9900 kg. You can ignore the weight of the post. What are (a) the stress in the post; (b) the strain in the post; and (c) the change in the post’s length when the load is applied?

Answer:

(a) stress in the post is [tex]\sigma =[/tex] 816.4 M pa

(b). strain in the post is ∈ = 0.004082

(c). strain is dL = 0.01347 m

Explanation:

Given data

Force = mg = 9900 × 9.81 = 97119 N

Diameter (D) = 0.39 m

Radius = 0.195 m

Length = 3.3 m

(a) stress in the post is given by

[tex]\sigma = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]

Area (A) = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]

A = 3.14 × [tex]0.195^{2}[/tex]

A = 0.119 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Now stress

[tex]\sigma = \frac{97119}{0.119}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma =[/tex] 816.4 M pa

(b). strain in the post is given by

∈ = [tex]\frac{\sigma }{E}[/tex]

E = 2 × [tex]10^{5}[/tex]  M pa

Now strain

∈ = [tex]\frac{816.4}{2(10^{5} )}[/tex]

∈ = 0.004082

(c). We know that strain is the ratio of change in length to original length.

∈ = [tex]\frac{dL}{L}[/tex]

dL = ∈ × L

dL = 0.004082 ×  3.3

dL = 0.01347 m
