1. Steel bar of cross sectional area 5 x 10 -4 m2 is

loaded as shown in the figure. Find force P
and the total elongation of the shaft .
( take E = 200 GNm-2 )

2.Steel bar & brass bar is rigidly connected

together and one end of the steel bar is rigidly
fixed to an unyielding support & loaded as
shown in the figure below. If the weight
density of the steel & brass are 7.8 x 104 N/m3
 and 8.2 x 104N/m3 respectively. What will be
the total elongation of the whole assembly.

B Steel B 12m Es = 200 GPa

E Br = 90 GPa
C Brass C 6m As = 8 x 10 -3 m2
ABr = 6 x 10 -3m2
