Question: A member (A B C D) is subjected to point loads (P_{1}) to (P_{4}) as shown in Fig. 13.61. Find the value of force (P_{2})

A member \(A B C D\) is subjected to point loads \(P_{1}\) to \(P_{4}\) as shown in Fig. 13.61. Find the value of force \(P_{2}\) for equilibrium, if \(P_{1}=40 \mathrm{kN}, P_{2}=400 \mathrm{kN}\) and \(P_{4}=120 \mathrm{kN}\). Also calculate the total elongation, if \(E=200 \mathrm{GPa}\).
