1.

A force P of 70 N is applied by a rider to the front hand brake of a bicycle (P is


the resultant of an evenly distributed pressure). As the hand brake pivots at A, a
tension T develops in the 460-mm long brake cable (Ae = 1.075 mm2) which
elongates 0.214 mm. Find normal stress and strain in the brake cable.

2. A circular aluminium tube of length L = 400 mm is loaded in compression by


forces P (see figure). The outside and inside diameters are 60 mm and 50 mm,
respectively. A strain gage is placed on the outside of the bar to measure normal
strains in the longitudinal direction. (a) If the measured strain is 550 X 10-6. what
is the shortening deflection of the bar? (b) If the compressive stress in the bar is
intended to be 40 MPa, what should be the load P?

tension in the wire is 4 kN. Knowing that E = 105 GPa and that the maximum
allowable normal stress is 180 MPa, determine (a) the smallest diameter that can
be elected for the rod, (b) the corresponding maximum length of the rod.

by the brass core, (b) the total load if the stress in the brass is 80 MPa.

vise on the tube at A and D, (b) the change in length of the portion BC of the
tube.

temperature rise of 35°C.

stresses and a maximum shearing stress at point H using analytical and graphical
method (Mohr circle).
