Question: A horizontal bar is attached to a wall. When a force of 1 kN is applied at point ( boldsymbol { A }

A horizontal bar is attached to a wall. When a force of 1 kN is applied at point \(\boldsymbol{A}\)(Figure 1), the deflection at point \(\boldsymbol{A}\) is \(\delta_{A A}=\)0.43 mm . When a 1 kN force is applied at point \(\boldsymbol{B}\)(Figure 2), the deflection at point \(\boldsymbol{A}\) is \(\delta_{A B}=0.21\mathrm{~mm}\).(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 7 kN applied to the right at point \(\boldsymbol{A}\)? Use a positive value to indicate an increase in length.
Express your answer in mm to three significant figures.

Part B - Combined loads
What is the change in the length of the bar if a load of 5.6 kN is applied to the left at \( A \) and a load of 11.4 kN is applied to the right at \( B \)? Use a positive value to indicate an increase in length.

Part C - Required load
If a load of 5.1 kN is applied to the right at point \(\boldsymbol{B}\), then what load magnitude must be applied to the left at point \(\boldsymbol{A}\) to make the length of the bar remain unchanged?
