Question: 1. A 3-m-long steel member is set snugly between two walls and then heated so that the temperature rise is 27°C. If each wall yields 0.38 mm, what is the compressive stress developed in the member?
2. The distance between two fixed points on a missile range in the desert was measured at a temperature of 112°F with a steel tape that was 100.00 ft long at 68°F. The distance was measured as 2208.56 ft. What is the distance corrected for temperature? What distance would have been recorded if the temperature at the time of measurement had been 20°F?
