Question I.
1.1 An aluminum rod 1.5 m long and 23 mm in diameter was found to deform by 2.3 mm under a tensile load of 40 kN. Calculate the modulus of elasticity. (5)
1.2 The pin below has a diameter of 20 mm and is subjected to a load of 59 kN. Determine the shear stress induced. (3)
1.3 Determine the force required to punch a 20 mm diameter hole through a 10 mm thick plate, if the shear stress of the material is 250 MPa. Find the compressive stress developed in the punch material. (6)
