Solve the following Problems.
1. A composite bar consist of an aluminum section rigidly fastened
between a bronze section and a steel section as shown in pb101 of
book. Axial loads are applied at the position indicated. Determine the
stress in each section.
2. The block of weight W hangs from pin at A. The bars AB and AC are
pinned to the support at B and C. The areas are 800 mm 2 for AB and
400 mm2 for AC. Determine the maximum safe value of W if the stress
in AB is limited to 110 MPa and that in AC to 120 MPa.
3. A rod is composed of an aluminum section rigidly attached between
steel and bronze sections, as shown in Fig. P-107. Axial loads are
applied at the positions indicated. If P = 3000 lb and the cross
sectional area of the rod is 0.5 in2, determine the stress in each
section.

4. An aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod and a bronze

rod as shown in Fig. P-108. Axial loads are applied at the positions
indicated. Find the maximum value of P that will not exceed a stress in
steel of 140 MPa, in aluminum of 90 MPa, or in bronze of 100 MPa.
