1. A tensile test was conducted on a mild steel bar. The following data was obtained from
the test.
1. Diameter of the steel bar
= 3 cm
2. Gauge length of the bar
= 20 cm
3. Load at elastic limit
= 250 kN
4. Extension at a load of 150 kN
= 0.21 mm
5. Maximum load
= 380 kN
6. Total extension
= 60 mm
7. Diameter of the rod at the failure = 2.25 cm
Determine: (a) the youngs modulus, (b) the stress at elastic limit, (c) the percentage
elongation, and (d) the percentage decrease in area.
2. A member ABCD is subjected to print loads P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown in figure.
Calculate the force P3 necessary for equilibrium if P1 = 120 kN, P2 = 220 kN and P4 =
160kN. Determine also the net change in the length of the member. Take E = 200 GN/m2.
Find the stresses in the rods. Take E for steel = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and E for brass = 1 x 105
N/mm2.
