Question: 2 - The two uniform linearly elastic rods shown below are welded together at B , and the resulting two - segment rod is attached

2- The two uniform linearly elastic rods shown below are welded together at B, and the resulting two-segment rod is attached to rigid supports at A and C. Rod (1) has a modulus E1=180GPa, cross-sectional area A1=550mm2, length L1=150mm, and coefficient of thermal expansion 1=810-6C. Rod (2) has a modulus E2=90GPa, cross-sectional area A2=900mm2, length L2=100mm, and coefficient of thermal expansion 2=1710-6C.
a) Determine the axial stresses in the rods if the temperature of both is raised by 50C.
b) Determine whether joint B moves to the right or left and by how much?
