Question

. The solid circular rod ABC is made of 304 Stainless steel and is loaded as shown. Calculate: a. The normal stress in the rod at point B. Also indicate

if point B is intension or compression. b. The safety factor for the rod (hint - check stresses in all sections). c. The deflection of point A relative to point C due to the loading shown. Note: yield strength = 30,000 psi; modulus of elasticity = 28 x 106 psi
