A bar having a square cross section of 30 mm by 30 mm is 2 m long and is held upward. If it has a mass of 5 kg/m, determine the largest angle θ measured from the vertical, at which it can be supported before it is subjected to a tensile stress along its axis near the grip.

A=0.03(0.03)=0.9\left(10^{-3}\right) \mathrm{m}^{2}

 

I=\frac{1}{12}(0.03)\left(0.03^{3}\right)=67.5\left(10^{-9}\right) \mathrm{m}^{4}

 

Require \sigma_{A}=0

 

\sigma_{A}=0=\frac{P}{A}+\frac{M c}{I}

 

0=\frac{-98.1 \cos \theta}{0.9\left(10^{-3}\right)}+\frac{98.1 \sin \theta(0.015)}{67.5\left(10^{-9}\right)}

 

0=-1111.11 \cos \theta+222222.22 \sin \theta

 

\tan \theta=0.005 ; \quad \theta=0.286^{\circ}
