1. The composite bar shown in Fig.1 is subjected to a tensile force of 30 kN. The extension
observed is 0.372 mm. Find the Young’s modulus of brass, if Young’s modulus of steel is
200 GPa.

2. The steel flat shown in Fig. 2 has a uniform thickness of 20 mm. Under an axial load of 80
kN, its extension is found to be 0.17 mm. Determine the Young’s modulus of material.

5. A rigid bar ABCD is connected to steel bar at A and B and is having hinged support at C.
At free end a load of 40 kN is acting as shown in Fig. 5. Find the forces developed in the
bars and deflections of free end if E= 2x 105 N/mm^2, diameter of rod at A=30 mm and at
B is 25 mm.

6. Three identical wires support a rigid bar ABC as shown in fig.6. Determine the forces
developed in each bar when a load of 15 kN is applied at D.

7. The bar ABCD is very rigid. It has pin jointed support at A and is supported by a steel wire
BE and copper wire CF as shown in fig.7. Find the stresses produced in steel and copper
wires when a load of 12 kN acts at its free end. Find also the deflection of the free end. Take:
As= 400mm2, Ac =600 mm2, Es= 2x 105 N/mm2, Ec = 1.2 x105 N/mm2.

8. The composite bar shown in Fig. 8, is 0.2 mm short of the distance between the rigid
supports at room temperature. What is the maximum temperature rise which will not
produce stresses in the bar? Find the stresses induced when the temperature rise is 40°C.
Given: As: Ac=4:3, αs=12 x 10-6/°C, αc =17.5 x10-6/°C, Es= 2x 105 N/mm2 Ec=1.2 x105.

9. A bar of 25 mm diameter is tightly fitted into a tube. Find the stresses in the bar and changes
in its volume due to a compressive force of 60 kN in the bar, if the tube restrains 50 per cent
of expansion in the diameter. Take length of the = 400 mm, E=2*105 N/mm2 and µ=0.3.
10. The diameter of a bar of 500 mm length varies uniformly from 60 mm at one end to 100
mm at the other end. Find the strain energy stored in the bar when an axial force of 75 kN
acts. Take E=2*105 N/mm2 .
