A marble column with a cross-sectional area of 27.4 cm² supports a load of 7.0 × 104 N. The marble has a Young's modulus of 60 GPa and a compressive strength of 200 MPa. (You may enter your calculation using scientific notation (x.xxEy): for example: 3.24 x 105 may be entered as 3.24E5.) What is the strain in the column?

(a) When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, V/V0=9.05102 ). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it freezes? (It is acceptable to use the bulk modulus of water in this problem.) (b) Is it surprising that such forces can fracture engine blocks, boulders, and the like?
A 100-N weight is attached to a free end of a metallic wire that hangs from the ceiling. When a second 100-N weight is added to the wire, it stretches 3.0 mm.

What Is Static Equilibrium? Problems 13 are grouped. 1. C A ball is attached to a strong, lightweight rod (Fig. P14.1). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin near the top. The ball is at rest. Is the ball in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the ball slightly? FIGURE P14.1
