PROBLEM SET NO. 1
MECHANICS OF DEFORMABLE BODIES – SIMPLE STRESSES

INSTRUCTION: In a bondpaper, answer the following questions by finding what is being asked
on each number. Scan your solution, and upload to NeoLMS. Strictly follow the format for
renaming your file : Surname, First Name Initials_Section_Activity No. ( Ex: Gabiola,
UA_G117_ACTIVITY1). Submit also the hardcopy next meeting.

1. Determine the outside diameter of a hollow steel tube that will carry a tensile load of
550 kN at a stress of 180 MPa. Assume the wall thickness to be one-fifteenth of the
outside diameter.

2. A homogeneous 1000 kg bar AB is supported at either end by a cable as shown.

a. Compute the ratio of the strength of steel to that of bronze

b. Determine the smallest area of steel cable if the stress is not to exceed 135 MPa
c. Determine the smallest area of the bronze cable if the stress is not to exceed 95 MPa

3. A steel tube is rigidly attached between an aluminum rod and a bronze rod as shown.
Axial loads are applied at the indicated positions.

a. Find the maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in aluminum of 80 MPa
b. Find the maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in steel of 150 MPa
c. Find the maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in bronze of 100 MPa
