Two pieces of high-density polyethylene tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 107 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 140 mm long, and tube (2) is 100 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 23.0 mm and an inside diameter of 18.4 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (2).

A steel rod with a circular cross section is used as a weight hanger. The straight part of the rod is 130 mm long. Determine the minimum diameter D required if this portion of the rod must hold a tensile load of 9.8 N without stretching more than 0.00270 mm.

Two pieces of high-density polyethylene tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 141 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 140 mm long, and tube (2) is 95 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 23.0 mm and an inside diameter of 18.2 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (1).

A 3D printed polymer rod measures 186.00 mm in length while on the heated print bed at 59.6°C. After cooling to room temperature at 21.9°C the rod measures 185.58 mm in length. Determine the coefficient of thermal expansion of the polymer.

Two pieces of high-density polyethylene tubing are fitted together and firmly clamped at their ends. A load of 194 N is applied to the fitting. Tube (1) is 160 mm long, and tube (2) is 100 mm long. Both tubes have an outsider diameter of 22.0 mm and an inside diameter of 16.8 mm. Determine the load carried by tube (1).
