(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²
(b) The strain in the post is 7.61 x 10⁻⁶
(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.
<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>
A = πd²/4
where;
d is the diameter
A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²
<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>
σ = F/A
σ = mg/A
where;
- m is mass supported by the steel
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- A is the area of the steel post
σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)
σ = 1,568,000 N/m²
<h3>Strain of the post</h3>
E = stress / strain
where;
- E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa
strain = stress/E
strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)
strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶
<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>
strain = ΔL/L
where;
- ΔL is change in length
- L is original length
ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5
ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

We use the formula,

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.
Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances. Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor.
If you know the total current and the voltage across the whole circuit, you can find the total resistance using Ohm's Law: R = V / I. For example, a parallel circuit has a voltage of 9 volts and total current of 3 amps. The total resistance RT = 9 volts / 3 amps = 3 Ω
Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.
