- A horizontal, rigid bar of negligible weight is fixed against a vertical wall at one end and supported by a vertical string at the other end. The bar has a length of 50.0 cm and is used to support a hanging block of weight 400.0 N from a point 30.0 cm from the wall as shown in Figure P14.81. The string is made from a material with a tensile strength of 1.2 108 N/m2. Determine the largest diameter of the string for which it would still break.

- A copper rod with length 1.4 m and cross-sectional area 2.0 cm2 is fastened to a steel rod of length L and cross-sectional area 1.0 cm2. The compound structure is pulled on each side by two forces of equal magnitude 6.00 104 N (Fig. P14.57). Find the length L of the steel rod if the elongations (L) of the two rods are equal. Use the values Ysteel = 2.0 1011 Pa and YCu = 1.1 1011 Pa.
