To use the principle of superposition to determine the total deflection in a cylindrical rod due to a static loading. A steel rod (E = 200 GPa) is subjected to the load shown, where P = 2650kN . A gap a = 1.80mm exists before the load is applied. The elongated rod contacts the top surface at C'. Assume the mass of the rod is negligible. The values for the figure below are d = 0.500m , e = 0.200m , j = 58.0mm , and g = 41.0mm .

Part A -Reaction force at C' after the load has been applied

Find the magnitude of the reaction force in the rod after the load has been applied.

Part B -Reaction at A after the load has been applied

Determine the magnitude of the reaction force in the steel rod after the load has been applied. Assume section AB of the rod is in tension.

Part C -Total deflection in the rod when the upper wall is removed

Determine the total deflection in the rod when the upper wall is removed.
