Question: A horizontal bar is attached to a wall. When a force of 1 k N is applied at point A ( Figure 1 ) ,

A horizontal bar is attached to a wall. When a force of 1kN is applied at point A(Figure 1), the deflection at point A is AA=0.49mm. When a 1kN force is applied at point B(Figure 2), the deflection at point A is AB=0.23mm.(A given deformation due to a unit load is known as a flexibility factor.)
Part A - Larger load
What is the change in the length of the bar if there is a single load of 5.6kN applied to the right at point A? Use a positive value to indicate an increase in length:
Express your answer in mm to three significant figures.
L=mm
Part B - Combined loads Express your answer in mm to three significant figures.

Part C - Required load
If a load of 6kN is applied to the right at point B, then what load magnitude must be applied to the left at point A to make the length of the bar remain unchanged?
