Chapter 4 Problem 4-40

Question

The rigid member is held in the position shown by three A-36 steel tie rods. Each rod has an unstretched length of 0.75 m and a cross-sectional area of \(125~ \mathrm{mm^2}\). Determine the forces in the rods if a turnbuckle on rod EF undergoes one full turn. The lead of the screw is 1.5 mm. Neglect the size of the turnbuckle and assume that it is rigid. Note: The lead would cause the rod, when unloaded, to shorten 1.5 mm when the turnbuckle is rotated one revolution.

                   

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 40 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The rigid member is held in the position shown by three A-36 steel tie rods. Each rod has an unstretched length of 0.75 m and a cross-sectional area of \(125~ \mathrm{mm^2}\). Determine the forces in the rods if a turnbuckle on rod EF undergoes one full turn. The lead of the screw is 1.5 mm. Neglect the size of the turnbuckle and assume that it is rigid. Note: The lead would cause the rod, when unloaded, to shorten 1.5 mm when the turnbuckle is rotated one revolution.                    
From the textbook chapter Axial Load you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
