Determine displacement in of a 174 in diameter steel bar whi
Determine displacement (in) of a 1.74 in diameter steel bar, which is 864 ft long under a force of 44,952 lb if elasticity modulus is 30 x 106 psi. Make sure you do not round up your answer to less than 4 significant (non-zero) figures.
Solution
Dl is nothing but change of length Ie displacement
Dl =pL/AE
=44952*864*12/(2.3778*30*106)
=6.533326689 inch
