Determine the bending strain energy in the beam and the axial strain energy in each of the two rods. The beam is made of 2014-T6 aluminum and has a square cross section \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\) by \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\). The rods are made of A-36 steel and have a circular cross section with a \(20-\mathrm{mm}\) diameter.
