On analysis of a steel truss due to certain loading, the internal forces are found as shown below. The cross-sectional area of all the members of the truss was 100mm2.
If the cross sectional area of member BC was increased to 1000mm2, find the internal force in member BC.
A horizontal steel bar is held by two fixed supports and is subjected to an increase of temperature ΔT = 100°C. If the coefficient of thermal expansion and Young's modulus of elasticity of steel are 11 × 10-6/°C and 200 GPa, respectively, the magnitude of the thermal stress (in MPa) induced in the bar is:
