  1. A horizontal bar, fixed at one end (x = 0), has a length of 1 m, and cross-sectional area of 100 mm2. Its elastic modulus varies along its length as given by E(x) = 100e–x GPa, where x is the length coordinate (in m) along the axis of the bar. An axial tensile load of 10 kN is applied at the free end (x = 1). The axial displacement of the free end is _____ mm.

Direction: A cylindrical container of radius R = 1 m, wall thickness 1 mm is filled with water up to a depth of 2 m and suspended along its upper rim. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2. The self-weight of the cylinder is negligible. The formula for hoop stress in a thin-walled cylinder can be used at all points along the height of the cylindrical container.
