Prob. 3.4-10. An axial load P is applied to a tapered rod. as shown in Fig. P3.4-10. The radius of the rod is given by 184 r(x) = TO where rr(0). (a) Determine a symbolic expression for the elongation of this tapered bar in terms of the parameters P. L ro, and E, and (b) solve for the elongation in inches if P = 2 kips, L = 100 in., 20 in.. and the rod is made of o= an aluminum alloy for which E= 10 × 10¹ ksi. [1 r(x) +(x/L). L P3.4-10
