Problem 1.125 pts. - 396 a) :(b) Given: A steel railroad track which was installed at 30° F. Let E = 29 x 10^6 psi & a = 6.5 x 10^-6/F Find: If the temperature reaches 125F, determine a) The normal stress in the rails which are welded together to form a continuous track. b) The normal stress in the rails assuming the rails are 39 ft. long with 1/4" gap between them.
