Question: A steel rod ( E = 2 0 0 GPa ) is subjected to the load shown, where P = 2 6 5 0 kN

A steel rod (E=200GPa) is subjected to the load shown, where P =2650 kN.A gap a =1.50 mm exists before the load is applied. The elongated rod contacts the top surface at C'. Assume the mass of the rod is negligible. The values for the figure below are d =0.500 m, e =0.400 m,j =56.0 mm, and g =41.0 mm.
A) Find the magnitude of the reaction force FC in the rod after the load P has been applied.
B) Determine the magnitude of the reaction force FA in the steel rod after the load has been applied. Assume section AB of the rod is in tension.
C) Determine the total deflection C/A in the rod when the upper wall is removed.
