Problem 104

A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 100 mm must carry a tensile load of 400 kN.
Determine the outside diameter of the tube if the stress is limited to 120 MN/m2.

P=A
where:
P=400kN=400000N
=120MPa
A=14D214(1002)
A=14(D210000)

Thus,
400000=120[14(D210000)]
400000=30D2300000
D2=400000+30000030
D=119.35 mm answer

Problem 105
A homogeneous 800 kg bar AB is supported at either end by a cable as shown in Fig. P-
105. Calculate the smallest area of each cable if the stress is not to exceed 90 MPa in
bronze and 120 MPa in steel.
By symmetry:
Pbr=Pst= 12(7848)
Pbr=3924 N
Pst=3924 N

For bronze cable:

Pbr=brAbr
3924=90Abr
Abr=43.6mm2 answer

For steel cable:

Pst=stAst
3924=120Ast
Ast=32.7mm2 answer
