You are analyzing a polymer uniaxial tension member used in a lightweight structure. The bottom of the tension member is fixed and the top has a tensile force F = 10,000 pounds on it.
a) List the inputs necessary to determine the stress in the member immediately after the load is applied
b) List the inputs necessary to determine the axial displacement at the top of the member immediately after the load is applied
c) List the inputs necessary to determine the stress in the member 100 days after the load is applied
d) List the inputs necessary to determine the axial displacement in the member 100 days after the load is applied
e) Assuming you had the necessary inputs to get a numerical value for both C and D, how might your numerical answers for both C and D vary if the polymer tensile member is located in Michigan versus Texas? Why?
