I’ve come acorss a problem, this is what i’m faced with.
A hollow steel tube has an external diamater of 100mm and a 80mm internal diamater, it is 3m long, and is subjected to a tensile load of 400kN. The stress of the tube needs to be calculated, and also, how much would the tube stretch if Youngs Modulus is 200 000 N/mm².
Thanks very much! Any help will be EXTREMELY appreciated.
