Q:
A brass bar, having cross sectional area of 150mm˛, is subjected to axial force of 50kN. What will be the total strain of bar if E= 1.05 x 104 N/mm˛?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: D) 0.054mm
Explanation: Strain in section 1 = P/AE = 50,000/(100×1.05×100,000) = 0.031mm
Strain In section 2 = P/AE = 50,000/(100×1.05×100,000) = 0.031mm
Resultant strain = 0.031 + 0.031 = 0.062mm.
Here the calculation of strain does not requires the value of lengths of the sections.
