A 22-mm-diameter steel [E = 200 GPa;] bolt is used to connect two rigid parts of an assembly, as shown in Figure P5.49. The bolt length is = 150 mm. The nut is hand-tightened until it is just snug (meaning that there is no slack in the assembly, but there is no axial force in the bolt) at a temperature of T = 40°C. When the temperature drops to T =10°C, determine
(a) the clamping force that the bolt exerts on the rigid parts.
(b) the normal stress in the bolt.
(c) the normal strain in the bolt.
