Q:

Calculate the instantaneous elongation if a steel rod of 40 mm and 4 m long subjected to an axial pull of 80 kN. Take E = 2×10? N/mm².

A) 1.23 mm B) 1.27 mm
C) 1.31 mm D) 1.43 mm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1.27 mm

Explanation: An instantaneous elongation = f/A × L ; and f = P/A = 80000/1256.63 = 63.66 N/mm².
= 63.66/1256.63 × 4000
= 1.27 mm.
