Determine initial force in the bolt if diameter is decreased


The change in diameter (2.5 in.) of a large steel bolt is carefully measured as the nut is tightened. Knowing that E= (29 x 10^6) psi and Poissons Ratio = .30, determine the initial force in the bolt, if the diameter is observed to decrease by (0.5 x 10^-3) in.
