Step 1
First, we need to calculate the cross-sectional area of segment AS. Since it is a square, the area can be calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. Let's assume the length of one side is "s". Therefore, the area of segment AS is A = s^2. Show more…

A slightly tapered bar $A B$ of solid circular cross section and length $L$ is supported at end $B$ and subjected to a tensile load $P$ at the free end $A$. The diameters of the bar at ends $A$ and $B$ are $d_{A}$ and $d_{B}$ respectively. Determine the length of the bar if the elongation of the bar due to the load $P=45$ kips is 0.02 in. Assume that $\mathrm{E}=10,400 \mathrm{ksi}$

Determine the stress in each section of the bar shown in the figure below when subjected to an axial tensile load of 20 kN. The central section is a 30 mm square cross-section; the other portions are of circular section, with their diameters indicated. What will be the total extension of the bar? For the bar material, E = 210 GN/m^2 (the deformation is assumed to be elastic).
