An aluminium (E = 70 GPa) post with a diameter 50 mm. It is securely attached to a structure at A and B.

A coiled spring (spring constant 156 MN/m) that is originally uncompressed (before P is applied) is placed over section CB, between the rigid collar at C and the fixed support at B.

The lengths  LAC = 0.23 m and LBC = 0.37 m.

 

1.1 Calculate the internal force in section AC (to 3 significant figures) when a load P of 43 kN is applied at the collar at C.

A positive value indicates a tensile force.
