From the compatibility equation, solve for F1:

F1L1A1E1=F2L2A2E2

F1=F2A1A2E1E2L2L11

Since L1=L2 for the coaxial bars, this equation simplifies to:

F1=F2A1A2E1E2

Recall that aluminum tube (1) has an outer diameter of D=30 mm and an inner diameter of d=22 mm. The elastic modulus of the aluminum is 70 GPa. The brass core (2) has a diameter of D=22 mm and an elastic modulus of 105 GPa.

Compute the areas A1 and A2.
