Given: A force of P = 40 lb is applied (along the –z-axis) to the handle of a pipe wrench to tighten a solid shaft into its socket. Let, d = 15 in., R = 1.0 in., and L = 20 in.
Req'd: Determine the normal stress sx at Point A (x=L, y=R, z=0).

Given: A force of P = 40 lb is applied (along the –z-axis) to the handle of a pipe wrench to tighten a solid shaft into its socket. Let, d = 15 in., R = 1.0 in., and L = 20 in. Req'd: Determine the normal stress sx at Point A (x=L, y=R, z=0). |

Consider Point A:
- the is no axial force in the pipe, so no axial stress occurs at A.
- Point A is on the bending axis for My, so not bending stress occurs at A.
- the other stresses that act in the x-y-z coordinate system are shear stresses.
Thus, at Point A: sx = 0.
