1.43 A flat slab of a variable width is bounded by the curve y=10e-0.

25x and extends

from the origin to x = 5 in. It is subject to an axial tensile load of 20,000 lb and the
material is steel for which E = 30 x 10 6 lb/in2. The slab thickness is 0.125 in. Use the
FORTRAN program of Problem 1.14 to determine the elongation of the slab. Ans.
0.00275 in
1.44 A steel bar of solid circular cross section is bounded by the curve y = 0.07e0.26x
and extends from the origin to x = 5 m. It is subject to an axial tensile load of 1.5MN and
Young’s modulus is 200GPa. Use the FORTRAN program of Problem 1.14 to determine
the elongation of the bar. Ans. 3.24 mm
