Question: 2 . 2 - 1 1 . A rigid, weightless beam BD supports a load P and is , in turn, supported by two hanger

2.2-11. A rigid, weightless beam BD supports a load P and is, in turn, supported by two hanger rods. (1) and (2), as shown in Fig. P2.2-11. The rods are initially the same lengthL =6ft and are made of the same material. Their rectangu-lar cross sections have original dimensions [m =1.5 in.t0.75 in.) and (72=2,0 in.1=1.0 in.), respectively. (a) Atwhat location, b, must the load Pact if the axial stress in theIwo bars is to be the same. i.c.,o,= a?(b) What is the magnitude of this tensile stress if a load of P =40 kips is appliedat the location determined in Part (a)?
