Question

Which formula correctly depicts the elongation in a tapered rod?

• A. $$\delta =\frac {PL}{AE}$$
• B. $$\delta =\frac {WL}{AE}$$
• C. $$\delta =\frac {WL^2}{2AE}$$
• D. $$\delta =\frac {4PL}{\pi d_{1} d_{2} E}$$

Answer 1

Answer:

$$\delta =\frac {4PL}{\pi d_{1} d_{2} E}$$

The formula that correctly depicts elongation in a tapered rod is,$\delta =\frac {4PL}{\pi d_{1} d_{2} E}$
