a)

A uniform bar of cross-sectionalarea A and flexural stiffness El is heated so that its temperature varies linearly from '1/2 at one t' end to 't'. at the- other end. One end is pin jointed to a rigid foundation, the other end is pin jointed so that it can slide in the direction of the length of the bar, the thermal expansionofwhich is resisted by a compression spring of stiffness K. If there is no load in ,thespring when t = 0, obtain an expressionfor the stress in the bar when it is heated and s~ow that it buckles in flexure when
t= 41r2[ 3 a [2A where a = coefficient oflinear i+
