Stress and Elongation of Uniformly Tapering Rectangular Rod
ELONGATION OF UNIFORMLY TAPERING CIRCULAR ROD
Total elongation of rectangular bar due to its own weight
Total elongation of conical bar due to its own weight
Problem 1: A 2m long steel bar has a uniform diameter 40mm for a length of 1m from one end. For
the next 0.5m the diameter decreases uniformly to d mm. For the remaining 0.5m length it has a
uniform diameter of d mm. If the elongation of the bar under a load of 150kN is 2.4mm, find d. E
=200kN/mm2
