Two gage marks are placed exactly 250 mm apart on a 12-mm-diameter aluminum rod with E 5 73 GPa and an ultimate strength of 140 MPa. Knowing that the distance between the gage marks is 250.28 mm after a load is applied, determine (a) the stress in the rod, (b) the factor of safety

Which of the following is an easy way to remember the modified “x” tire rotation? a. nondrive wheels straight, cross the drive wheels b. drive wheels straight, cross the nondrive wheels c. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels straight d. drive wheels crossed, nondrive wheels crossed

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
