A student foolishly attempts to stop a steel bar, of length L = 1 m and at a temperature of 20ºC, from thermally expanding by attaching it to a wooden support with a nail at each end. Steel's Young's modulus is Y = 2.7 × 1011 N/m2 and it's linear thermal expansion coefficient is α = 12.9 × 10-6 1/C. Randomized Variables Y = 2.7 × 1011 N/m2α = 12.9 × 10-6 1/C a. Enter an expression, in terms of defined variables, for the stress, S, that each nail will need to sustain at a temperature Ts.
