PROBLEM 11.22
Straight rods of 0.30–in. diameter and 200–ft length are sometimes
used to clear underground conduits of obstructions or to thread wires
through a new conduit. The rods are made of high–strength steel and,
for storage and transportation, are wrapped on spools of 5–ft
diameter. Assuming that the yield strength is not exceeded,
determine (a) the maximum stress in a rod, when the rod, which is
initially straight, is wrapped on a spool, (b) the corresponding
bending moment in the rod. Use
.
