to a load
When the steel bars were fabricated, the distance
between the centers of the holes that were to fit on the pins was made
0.5 mm smaller than the 2 m needed. The steel bars were then placed in
an oven to increase their length so that they would just fit on the pins.
Following fabrication, the temperature in the steel bars dropped back to
room temperature. Determine (a) the increase in temperature that was
required to fit the steel bars on the pins, (b) the stress in the brass bar
after the load is applied to it.
