PROBLEM 1:
A rigid block of weight Wis supported by three symmetrically spaced rods as shown in the Figure. Each copper rod
has an area of 610 mm^2; E= 120 GPa; length of 160 mm and the allowable stress is 30 MPa. The steel rod has
an area of 1010 mm^2; E = 200 GPa; length= 320 mm and the allowable stress is 60 MPa. Determine the following:
Copper
W
3. Actual stress in the steel?
