Answer any one question from Q1 and Q2
1 (a) A Compound bar ABC 1.5 m long is made up of two parts 'AB' of aluminium and 'BC' of steel having cross-sectional area of steel half of the aluminium bar. The rod is fixed at 'A' and subjected to an axial pull of 200 kN at end 'C'. If the elongations of both materials is equal, find the lengths of each part assuming Esteel=200 Gpa and Ealuminium as one third of steel.
