1. What is most nearly the stress at surface S of the cylindrical object shown? The specific weight of
the material is  = 76.9 kN/m3.

2. The cylindrical steel tank shown is 3.5 m in diameter, 5 m high, and filled with a brine solution.
Brine has a density of 1198 kg/m3. The thickness of the steel shell is 12.5 mm. What is the hoop
stress in the steel 0.65 m above the rigid concrete pad? Neglect the weight of the tank.
3. A rigid weightless bar is suspended horizontally by cables 1 and 2 as shown in the figure. The
cross-sectional areas of the cables are shown in the figure. The modulus of elasticity, E, is the
same for both cables. If a concentrated load of F=1500 kN is applied between point A and B, find
the distance, x, for the bar to remain horizontal.

4. What is most nearly the total elongation of this composite body under a force 175 kN? E 1=70GPa
and E2=100 GPa.

5. A steel bar with the dimensions and cross sections shown in the figure is suspended vertically.
Three concentric downward loads are applied to the bar: 22 250 N at the lower end, 13 500 N at
0.35 m above the lower end, and 9000 N at 1 m above the lower
end. The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 210 GPa. What is
the total change in length of the bar?
