Question: A load P will be supported by a structure consisting of a rigid bar ABCD, a steel E = 2 9 , 0 0 0

A load P will be supported by a structure consisting of a rigid bar ABCD, a steel E=29,000ksi;=6.510-6F bar (1) and an
aluminum alloy E=10,000ksi;=12.510-6F bar (2). The bars have cross-sectional areas of A1=0.75in2 and A2=1.25in.?2,
respectively. Dimensions of the structure are a=3.8ft,b=4.1ft,c=5.9ft,L1=13ft, and L2=21ft. The bars are unstressed when the
structure is assembled. After a concentrated load of P=30kips is applied and the temperature has been increased by 70F,
determine:
(a) the normal stresses in bars (1) and (2).
(b) the magnitude of the vertical deflection of joint D.
