1) The assembly consists of three titanium rods and a

rigid bar AC. The cross-sectional area of each rod is

given in the figure. If a force of 6 kips is applied to
the ring F, determine the angle of tilt of bar AC and
the horizontal displacement of point F. What is the
new diameter of rod CD if = 0.3? Etitanium = 17.4 x 103
ksi.
2) Rods AB (steel with d = 30 mm) and BC (composite made of a steel core with d = 30 mm and an
aluminum tube with outer diameter = 50 mm and inner diameter 30 mm encasing the steel
core) are fixed at rigid walls in A and C. Determine the maximum force P that can be applied to
the assembly if the allowable stresses for steel and aluminum are 150 MPa and 255 MPa,
respectively. Use Est = 200 GPa and EAl = 70 GPa.
