The bar is made of an aluminium alloy having a stress-strain diagram that can be
approximated by the straight line segment shown. Assuming that this
diagram is the same for both tension and compression.
Determine the moment the bar will support if the maximum strain at the top and
bottom fibers of the beam is ā max = 0.05.
