A sign (mass 2200 kg ) hangs from the end of a vertical steel girder with a cross-sectional area of 0.12 m2 .
A)What is the stress within the girder? Express your answer using two significant figures.
B)What is the strain on the girder? Use Esteel=2.0×1011N/m2 Express your answer using two significant figures.
C)If the girder is 6.50 m long, how much is it lengthened? (Ignore the mass of the girder itself.) Express your answer using two significant figures.
Given:
A) Stress within the girder :-
Stress is defined as the force per unit area,
This is the stress within the girder.
. . .
B) Strain on the girder :-
Strain is given by,
This is the strain on the girder.
. . .
C) Length :-
The girder is 6.50 meter long.
Elongation in length is given by,
This much the girder is get lengthened.
