9. The horizontal steel rod, 2.5-m-long, and 1,200 mm in cross-sectional area, is secured between two walls as shown in Fig. ESS4-SP-031. If the rod is stress-free at 20°C, compute the stress when the temperature has dropped to -20°C. Assume that (a) the walls do not move, and (5) the walls move together a distance A = 0.5 mm. Use a = 11.7 x 10-6/°C and E = 200 GPa. A = 1200 mm² L = 2.5 m Fig. ESS4-SP-031

Question
9. The horizontal steel rod, 2.5-m-long, and 1,200
mm in cross-sectional area, is secured between
two walls as shown in Fig. ESS4-SP-031. If the
rod is stress-free at 20°C, compute the stress
when the temperature has dropped to -20°C.
Assume that (a) the walls do not move, and (b)
the walls move together a distance A = 0.5 mm.
Use a = 11.7 x 10-6/°C and E = 200 GPa.
A = 1200 mm²
L= 2.5 m
