A rectangular steel eyebar 3/4 inches thick and 24 ft long between centers of end pins is subjected to an axial tensile load of 50,000 lb. If this bar must not elongate more than 0.20 inches, calculate

(a) the width of the bar and
(b) tensile stress developed at maxium elongation, using required width calculated in (a)

a) 3.31 inches

b) 20139 psi

Explanation:

L = 24 ft = 24*12 = 288 inches

Let the elastic modulus of the steel bar (structured ASTM-A36) . If a 288 inches long bar must no elongate more than 0.2 inches, then its strain must be:

Then the tensile stress must not exceed

If the tensile load is 50000 lb then the cross-sectionarea must not be larger than

If it's 3/4 inches thick then the width must be

2.48 / (3/4) = 3.31 inches

answer:

the army does care about its soilders sir i think yout getting off on the wrong foot sir you need to respect our country were keeping the peole that want to d harm towards you out. so dont go saying we don't care cause we do
