A downward load P = 36 kN is applied to the tip

D of the horizontal rigid bar AD that is pinned at support

A downward load P = 36 kN is applied to the tip D of the horizontal rigid bar AD that is pinned at support A and connected to two vertical links BF and CE as shown. Both links are made of aluminum (E = 75 GPa) with a 12 x 20 mm rectangular cross section. Determine (a) the normal stress in link BF and (b) the displacement of point D. 600 mm 160 mm- 1000 mm "80 mm 80 mm
