The system shown consists of a member which is built in to rigidfoundations at both ends. It is unstrained in the horizontalposition. But then it is put in an upright position, and hence issubject to gravity. Find the stress and strain as a function ofposition in the member in the upright orientation.
The picture is hard to draw on cramster, but it's a basicpicture.
The first picture is a long skinny cylinder with 2 plates on eitherside, it is verticle (direction of gravity). The secondpicture is the exact same thing but horizontal
