Question: 3 . ( 2 5 pts ) A force ( mathrm { P } = 1 0 mathrm { kN }

3.(25pts) A force \(\mathrm{P}=10\mathrm{kN}\) is applied as shown. The cylindrical supports \(\mathrm{AD},\mathrm{BE}\), and CF are 304 stainless steel alloy with a diameter of 30 mm . Assume that the beam \( A B C \) is a "magic physics beam" that does not bend or distort, has no mass, etc. Assume that the supports remain vertical while under load and ignore any lateral/transverse distortion effects (saves on math effort for little return...).
a. What is the force in each support in kN?
b. What is the average normal stress in each support in MPa? Does this exceed the yield strength of 304 alloy stainless steel?
c. What is the elongation of each support in mm?
3 . ( 2 5 pts ) A force \ ( \ mathrm { P } = 1 0
