The pushrods that actuate the valves on a six-cylinderengine are SAE 1040 steel and are 625 mm long and 8.0 mm in diameter. Calculate the change in length of the rods if their temperature varies from −40°C to +116°C and the expansion is unrestrained. If the pushrods were installed with zero clearance with other parts of the valve mechanism at 25°C, compute the following: a. The clearance between parts at −40°C b. The stress in the rod due to a temperature rise to 116°C
