A support column that is pinned at one end and fixed at the other is to be used to support a 12000- pound load (P 12000 lbf). The support is required to be a hollow tube with a length of 3 feet (1 = 12 in.) and an outer diameter of 1.5 inches (do 1.5 in.). Determine the wall thickness of the tube that will maintain a safety factor of 1.8 (n = 1.8) if the material to be used is aluminum (E 10.4 Mpsi, Sy = 60 ksi). = = do = Ø 1.5 in.
Bone has a Young’s modulus of 18 × 109 Pa. Under compression, it can withstand a stress of about 160 × 106 Pa before breaking. Assume that a femur (thigh bone) is 0.50 m long, and calculate the amount of compression this bone can withstand before breaking.
Suspension cables are used to carry gondolas at ski resorts. Consider a suspension cable that includes an unsupported span of 3 km. Calculate the amount of stretch in the steel cable. Assume that the cable has a diameter of 5.6 cm and the maximum tension it can withstand is 3.0×106N.
