A steel bolt (area 5 130 mm2, Es 5 210 GPa) is enclosed by a copper tube (length 5 0.5 m, area 5 400 mm2, Ec 5 110 GPa) and the end nut is turned until it is just snug. The pitch of the bolt threads is 1.25 mm. The bolt is now tightened by a quarter turn of the nut. The resulting stress in the bolt is approximately:



(A) 56 MPa

(B) 62 MPa

(C) 74 MPa

(D) 81 MPa


(D) 81 MPa
