Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.

Lead blocks of length 2.00 × 10-1 m, width 1.00 × 10-1 m, and height 2.00 × 10-2 m are stacked ten high. The mass of each block is 4.40 kg, and Young's Modulus for lead is 1.60 × 1010 N/m2.

Determine the following:

1
Stress on the bottom block
2
Strain on the bottom block
3
Compression of the bottom block

Two metal bars 0.500 cm thick are held together by three rivets as shown in the figure to the right. The rivets have a radius of 2.00 × 10-3 m, and the maximum shear stress a rivet can withstand is 5.00 × 108 N/m2.<a onClick="window.open('/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=gif:: ::/sites/dl/free/0070524076/57993/ch10_img1.gif','popWin', 'width=NaN,height=NaN,resizable,scrollbars');" href="#"><img valign="absmiddle" height="16" width="16" border="0" src="/olcweb/styles/shared/linkicons/image.gif"> (0.0K)</a>

Determine the following:

4
The area that must be sheared in order to separate the bars by applying a force parallel to them
5
The force applied parallel to the bars that will shear the three rivets

A 2.00-kg mass is attached to the end of a spring. The mass-spring system is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface, as shown below. A force of 20.0 N is required to stretch the spring 0.100 m. You start the system oscillating by compressing the spring 0.200 m and then releasing it. You start your record of time (t = 0) the first time the oscillating mass goes through equilibrium.
