PROBLEM 2. A bracket is loaded as shown in the figure. In order to determine the location and weight of a particular hanging load P, a strain rosette is attached to the top of the bracket near the wall (assume strain gages are at the wall). The rosette has three gauges, each are 120° apart as shown in the diagram. The bracket material is steel, E = 210 GPa and v = 0.3. When the weight, P, is placed at a distance, s, on the rectangular bracket arm, the three gauges measure the following strains, ɛ.=224.8 microstrain, ɛ=- 118.3 microstrain, e=132.9 microstrain. From these three strains, determine the load, P, and the distance, s. 20 mm 12 mm 150 mm 1200 120° 1200

A hollow circular tube A fits over the end of a solid circular bar B, as shown in the figure. The far ends of both bars are fixed. Initially, a hole through bar B makes an angle ß with a line through two holes in tube A. Then bar B is twisted until the holes are aligned, and a pin is placed through the holes. When bar B is released and the system returns to equilibrium, what is the total strain energy U of the two bars? (Let lAand lBrepresent the polar moments of inertia of bars A and B, respectively. The length L and shear modulus of elasticity G are the same for both bars.)
Solve the preceding problem if the cross- sectional dimensions are b = 1.5 in. and h = 5.0 in., the gage angle is ß = 750, the measured strains are = 209 × 10-6 and B = -110 × 10, and the material is a magnesium alloy with modulus E = 6.0 X 106 psi and Poisson’s ratio v = 0.35.

The device shown in the figure consists of a prismatic rigid pointer ABC supported by a uniform translational spring of stiffness k = 950 N/m. The spring is positioned a distance P = 165 nun from the pinned end A of the pointer. The device is adjusted so that, when there is no load P, the pointer reads zero on the angular scale. (a) If the load P = 11 N, al what distance .v should the load be placed so that the pointer will read ?? = 2.5° on the scale (see figure part a)? (b) Repeal part (a) if a rotational spring E1= kb-6 is added al A (see figure part b). (c) Lel.x = 7b/8.What is P maxif 0 cannot exceed 2"? Include spring krin your analysis. (d) Now, if the weight of the pointer ABC is known to be W =3N and the weight or the spring is Ws= 2.75 N, what initial angular position (Left in degrees) of the pointer will result in a zero reading on the angular scale once the pointer is released from rest? Assume P = kr=0. (e) If the pointer is rotated lo a vertical position (see figure part c), find the required load P applied at mid-height of the pointer that will result in a pointer reading of 0 = 2.5" on the scale. Consider the weight of the pointer W. in your analysis.
