For the following problem, unless noted otherwise, refer to Appendices F and/or G for necessary mechanical properties. Unless noted otherwise, assume gray cast iron, as appropriate.

A 2-in.-diameter AISI 1020 steel rod is 10 ft long. Under an applied load, the rod elongates by 0.48 in.

(a) Compute the axial (longitudinal) strain in the bar.


(b) If the transverse deformation of the rod is 0.0024 in., compute Poisson’s ratio for the material.
