The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is supported by vertical bars BE and CF and is loaded by vertical forces P1 = 400 kN and P2 = 360 kN acting at points A and D, respectively (see figure). Bars BE and CF are made of steel (E = 200 GPa) and have cross-sectional areas ABE = 11,100 mm2 and ACF = 9,280 mm2. The distances between various points on the bars are shown in the figure.
Determine the vertical displacements δA and δD of points A and D, respectively.
