AT1. Three vertical rods AB,CD,EF are hung from rigid
supports and connected at their ends by a rigid horizontal bar.
The rigid bar carries a vertical load of 20kN. Details of the bars
are as follows:
Bar AB :-L=500mm,A=100mm2,E=200GPa
Bar CD:- L=900 mm,A=300mm2,E=100GPa
Bar EF:-L=600mm,A=200mm2,E=200GPa
If the rigid bar remains horizontal even after loading,
determine the stress and elongation in each bar.
