The car bumper is made of polycarbonate-polybutylene terephthalate. If E = 2.0 GPa, determine the maximum deflection and maximum stress in the bumper if it strikes the rigid post when the car is coasting at v = 0.75 m/s. The car has a mass of 1.80 Mg, and the bumper can be considered simply supported on two spring supports connected to the rigid frame of the car. For the bumper take I = 300(l06) mm4, c = 75 mm, σY = 30 MPa and k = 1.5 MN/m.

- The pipe is stuck in the ground so that when it is pulled upward the frictional force along its length varies linearly from zero at B to fmax (force/length) at C. Determine the initial force P required to pull the pipe out and the pipe’s elongation just before it starts to slip. The pipe has a length L, cross-sectional area A, and the material from which it is made has a modulus of elasticity E.arrow_forwardThe rigid bar is supported by the two short white spruce wooden posts and a spring. If each of the posts has an unloaded length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 600 mm2, and the spring has a stiffness of k = 2 MN >m and an unstretched length of 1.02 m, determine the force in each post after the load is applied to the bar.arrow_forwardThe rigid bar is supported by the two short white spruce wooden posts and a spring.
