A steel rod, 12 mm in diameter, passes centrally through a copper tube 2.5 m long and having 36 mm and 48 mm as internal and external diameters respectively. The tube is closed at each end by 24 mm thick steel plates which are secured by nuts. The nuts are tightened until the copper tube is reduced in length by 0.50. The whole assembly is then raised in temperature by 60 degrees Celsius. Steel: Coefficient of expansion = 1.2x10^-5/degrees Celsius, Es = 200 GPa Copper: Coefficient of expansion = 1.75x10^-5/degrees Celsius, Ec = 100 GPa Calculate the stress in copper before the rise of temperature if the thickness of the plates remains unchanged. Indicate if the answer is tensile, tension or compression
