Three rubber bands are shown before and after being stretched. Before stretching, bands A, B and C have lengths of 90 mm, 115 mm, and 150 mm, respectively. After stretching, band A has a length of 100 mm, while bands B and C each have a length of 200 mm. Determine the maximum normal strain in the bands.

A short column is loaded in compression. Segment (1) has a solid cross section with a diameter of 1.00 in. Segment (2) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.26 in. and a wall thickness of 0.13 in. If segment (2) has a normal stress of 10 ksi, determine the normal stress in segment (1).
