Question:

The change in the length of a rod shown in the figure above and due to an axial force P is given byimage text in transcribed

where L is the length of rod, P is the applied axial force, A is the cross-sectional area of rod, and E is the modulus of elasticity. If P and E are normally distributed with μP and σP and μE and σE, respectively, determine the first-order mean and variance of ΔL for the following two cases: (1) P and E are uncorrelated, and (2) P and E are correlated with a correlation coefficient ρ.
