The normal strain in a suspended bar of material of varying cross section due to its own weight is given by the expression vy/3E where y = 2.3 lb/in.³ is the specific weight of the material, y = 0.8 in. is the distance from the free (i.e., bottom) end of the bar, L = 8 in. is the length of the bar, and E = 23000 ksi is a material constant. Determine, (a) the change in length of the bar due to its own weight. (b) the average normal strain over the length L of the bar. (c) the maximum normal strain in the bar.
