Link ab is to be made of a steel for which the ultimate normal stress is 65 ksi. determine the cross-sectional area of ab for which the factor of safety will be 3.20. assume that the link will be adequately reinforced around the pins at a and b.

Water at the rate of 1 kg/s is forced through a tube with a 2.5 cm inner diameter. the inlet water temperature is 15°c, and the outlet water temperature is 50°c. the tube wall temperature is 14°c higher than the local water temperature all along the length of the tube. what is the length of the tube?

Write a technical essay (maximum two pages) about stress concentration. and paste from the textbook. instead, read updated material about this phenomenon and provide a technical evaluation of the different techniques to avoid/reduce such phenomenon. consider in your analysis cutting-edge computational techniques such as fea to study and analyze stress concentrations.
