Change in Length of a Body:

A body experiences change in its length due to tensile
or compressive force actingon it.

Answer and Explanation: 1

FCF
0.18 m

XB

0.26 m

18 kN

FBD of member ABC

Taking moment about point B and equating it to zero,

(0.26)(18kN) = 26 kN
MB = 0(0.26)(18kN) - (0.18) For = 0Fcr = 0.18

Summation of forces in x-direction should be equal to

zero,

SE, = 018kN + FBE + 26kN = 0FBE = -44 kN

Thus,the change in length of member BE =-0.0302 mm

while that of member CF = 0.01783 mm.

Deformation

When any mechanical element is subjected to a load

then due to its elastic property, it gets temporary
deformation. The extent of deformation depends on the
modulus of elasticity, the area of cross-section, and
length.

Answer and Explanation: 1

List down the givern data.

" The modulus of elasticity of aluminum is:

E=75 GPa

" The area of cross section of bar is: A = 130 mm²

The force applied to point E is: P =2 kN

" The length of bar is: L = 410 mm

Substitute the known values in the above equation.

õp =0.024 mm +(450 mm) (5.714 x 10 rad)
Op = 0.026 mm

Thus, the deflection of point Eis 0.026 mm.

Use Statics analysis to determine the value for
P in member CB. Call it T for tension.
P= 20 kN

SM about pt. A = 0 = T(480) - P(600)

T(480 ) = 20 kN (600 )
T = 20 kN (600 |480)
T = 25 KN = 25 x 10°N

Now analyze member CB
