Objective        Compute the deformation of the bar.

Given          Force = F = 9500 N; diameter = D = 12 mm.
Length = L = 3600 mm; E = 207 GPa

Analysis              From Example Problem 3-1, we found that a = 84.0 MPa. Use Equation (3-3).

\delta =\sigma L/E                     (3-3)

Results

\delta =\frac{\sigma L}{E}=\frac{(84.0 \times 10^6 N/m^2) (3600 \ mm)}{(207 \times ^6N/m^2)}= 1.46 \ mm
