Linear deflection springs and torsional springs are attached to
rigid bars as shown.The springs can act in tension or compression and
resist rotation in either direction. Determine Pcr, the critical load value.

Columns made from an alloy will be used in a construction of
a frame. The cross-section of the columns is a hollow-cylinder of thickness 10 mm and outer diameter of d mm. The modulus of elasticity is
E = 200 GPa and the yield stress is yield = 300 MPa. Table below shows
a list of the lengths L and outer diameters d. Identify the long and the
short columns. Assume the ends of the column are built in.

A force F= 600 lb is applied to the two bars structure as
shown. Both bars have a diameter of d = 1/4 inch, modulus of elasticity
E = 30,000 ksi, and yield stress yield = 30 ksi. Bar AP and BP have
lengths of LAP= 8 inches and LBP= 10 inches, respectively. Determine
the factor of safety for the two-bar structures.

A hoist is constructed using two wooden bars to lift a weight
of 5 kips. The modulus of elasticity for wood is E = 1,800 ksi and the
allowable normal stress 3.0 ksi. Determine the maximum value of L to
the nearest inch that can be used in constructing the hoist.
