Homework Statement
A cylindrical steel bar, 20-mm in diameter and 5.0-m in length, is subjected to an axial tensile load of 40-kN applied at the ends of the steel bar. Determine the axial extension, in millimeters, of the steel bar under this loading condition?
Homework Equations
E=[tex]\sigma[/tex]/e
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = F/A
e= change in L / Lo
The Attempt at a Solution
To find the extension we need to find (change in Lo)
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 40x103/((.12x pi)/4) = 50265482.46
Even though not given in the question I am presuming E for steel = 210Gpa
therefore, e = 50265482.46/ 210x109 = 2.393594403x10-4
as e = (change in L/Lo), the change in length = (2.393594403x10-4 x 5) = 1.2x10-3 m and 1.2 mm
This is a multiple choice question and this is not one of the answers, can anyone see where I am going wrong?
ANSWERS: 5x10-5 , 0.05, 3.2x10-3, 5.0, 3.2
