A 1.25 in. by 3 in. rectangular steel bar is used as a diagonal tension member in a bridge truss. The diagonal member is 20 ft long, and its modulus of elasticity is 30,000,000 psi. If the strain in the diagonal member is measured as 0.001200, determine the amount of stretch in inches of the member. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (0.00) of an inch.

Describe one experiment in which the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of a totally amorphous thermoplastic material can be determined. show the relevant experimental results in a diagram which should be properly annotated with the two temperatures clearly marked. what is likely to happen to the curve in the diagram if the amorphous polymer is replaced by a thermosetting type?
