Question: A horizontal bar ABCDE is fixed at end A and has axial forces acting at points B , C , D , and E as

A horizontal bar ABCDE is fixed at end A and has axial forces acting at points B,C,D, and E as shown below. The magnitudes of these axial forces are not given, but under the action of these forces the bar undergoes axial deformations.
If we know that B=0.005 in.,CB=-0.002 in.,D=-0.0015 in., and ED=-0.008 in., calculate the absolute deformations C, and E and the relative deformations CA,DC, and EC.
Enter the relative deformation EC in in.(inches) correct to 3 significant digits below. Make sure to
include the sign if it is negative. (The answer is not 0.003 in)
A horizontal bar ABCDE is fixed at end A and has
