Additional Problem 4:
The rigid bar is pinned at A and supported by two aluminum rods, each having a diameter of 1
in. and a modulus of elasticity Eal=10(103)ksi. If the bar is initially vertical, (a) determine
the force in each rod when the 2-kip load is applied, (b) calculate the stress in each rod and
(c) the deflection (movement) of Point B. Note: To solve the problem draw a free body
diagram of just the rigid bar and write a sum of moments about point A equation. Also, using
similar triangles, write an equation that relates the movements of points C and E to each other
as the rigid bar rotates around A (keep in mind that those movements will also be equal to the
deformation of the rods at those locations). The moment and movement (deformation)
equations should allow you to solve for the unknown forces.
