P1.2. The material of a tension member is changed from AISI 4340 steel to a unidirectional high-modulus (HM) carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy 1. Calculate the ratio of the cross-sectional areas, axial stiffnesses, and weights of these two members for equal load-carrying capacities 2. Calculate the ratio of the cross-sectional areas, load-carrying cap- acities, and weights of these two members for equal axial stiffness (Hint: Load strength× cross-sectional area, and axial stiffness modulus × cross-sectional area)
