Q3. [1%]
Two portions of the rod ABC are welded together, and
two forces are applied axially as shown.
(a) If the allowable stress for section AB is o_allow1
= 175 MPa and that for section BC is o_allow2 =
150 MPa, determine the smallest allowable
diameters, d1 and d2 in millimeters.
(b) If the Young's modulus E = 73 GPa for both
sections, calculate the total deformation in
millimeters at point C due to the forces applied.
A
300 mm
d1
B
40 kN
250 mm
d2
C
30 kN
