Question: A rigid horizontal bar is supported by two axial bars with circular cross - sections with diameters d at the left and right ends as

A rigid horizontal bar is supported by two axial bars with circular cross-sections with diameters d
at the left and right ends as shown. The bars are of equal length (0.5 meters) and have these
properties: Bar (1)-d1=15mm,E1=140GPa. Bar (2)- Bar 2-d2=10mm,E2=200GPa. Find the
downward deflection at the left and right ends B and C of the horizontal bar and the angle that
the final displaced rigid bar makes with the horizontal. Hint: Remember for statics, to get 1
equation and 1 unknown for problems like this, take moments about either end first to get one
reaction/bar force, then sum forces vertically to get the second. Answers: B=0.269mm
downward, c=0.212mm downward, the bar is 0.00435 degrees ccw from the horizontal.
