Determine the tensile stress in each segment of the bar shown. Segment AB has a square cross section 2 in. by 2 in. Segment BC has a circular cross section with a diameter of 1.75 in. The tensile load P = 75 kips.Solution
The cross sectional areas of the bars AB and BC are 2x2 = 4 sq. inches and ( 1.75/2)2 = 3.14(0.875)2 = 2.40 sq. inches respectively. Let the tensile stress in the segments AB and BC of the bar be 1 and 2 respectively. Then
1 = 75/4 = 18.75 kips/sq. inch
and 2 = 75/ 2.40 = 31.25 kips/sq. inch
