A rectangular bar of length L has a slot in the middle half of its length (see figure).
The bar has width b, thickness t, and modulus of elasticity E. The slot has width
b/4.
(a) Obtain a formula for the elongation of the bar due to the axial loads P.
(b) Calculate the elongation of the bar if the material is high-strength steel, the
axial stress in the middle region is 160 MPa, the length is 750 mm, and the
modulus of elasticity is 210 GPa.
