Q2 (a) A steel cable with nominal diameter 25 mm as shown in Table Q2(a) is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN, as shown in Figure Q2(a). The cable has an effective modulus of elasticity E =140 GPa . (i) If the cable is 14 m long, how much will it stretch when the load is picked up? (ii) If the cable is rated for a maximum load of 70 kN, what is the factor of safety with respect to failure of the cable?

A steel riser pipe hangs from a drill rig located offshore in deep water (see figure). (a) What is the greatest length (meters) it can have without breaking if the pipe is suspended in the air and the ultimate strength (or breaking strength) is 550 MPa? (b) If the same riser pipe hangs from a drill rig at sea, what is the greatest length? (Obtain the weight densities of steel and sea water from Table M, Appendix I. Neglect the effect of buoyant foam casings on the pipe.)
A safety valve on the top of a tank containing steam under pressure p has a discharge hole of diameter d(see figure).

Question 2 You are holding a thin and weightless bar on your head (see figure 2.1). On the extremity A, the bar is attached to an elastic spring with unstressed length of 1 m and spring constant, k = 50 N/m; on the other extremity D, the bar is against a wall. On point C, a force F is applied, forming a 45-degree angle with the bar. Assign the length AE according to the height of your body. (a) What is the magnitude of the force F for the bar to rest horizontally? (b) If the force F was removed, what support would you need in D in place of the wall, in order to keep the bar at rest horizontally? Justify your suggestion(s). State and justify your assumptions and comment on your solutions. 2m 1m 1m 000000000 F B 45° 4m Figure 2.1 C D
