AI Thread Summary
A 30 m aluminum bar with a diameter of 50 mm is under a tensile stress of 172 MPa, and the task is to determine its final diameter using Young's modulus of 69,116 MPa and a Poisson's ratio of 0.4. The discussion addresses the appropriate forum for posting such questions, clarifying that the original poster may have intended to seek assistance rather than present a challenge. The thread was moved to a more suitable forum for help. The focus remains on calculating the final diameter based on the given parameters.

Hi Joe_1234,

I saw you posted your question in the "Problem of the Week" forum, but I am sorry, that forum is meant ONLY for directors to post a problem on weekly basic. Do you mean to provide a challenge problem for our members to attempt at a solution, or do you mean to ask for help there?

As a temporary measure, I have moved your thread to other forum, assuming you wanted to get some help to answer the problem. :)
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
