Current Attempt in Progress
The rigid bar ABC is supported by three bars as shown in the figure. Bars (1) attached at A and C are identical, each having a length of L1=151in. Bar (2) has a length of L2=94in.; however, there is a clearance of c=0.30in. between bar (2) and the pin in the rigid bar at B. There is no strain in the bars before the load P is applied, and a=58 in. After application of load P, the tensile normal strain in bar (2) is measured as 1060. What is the normal strain in bars (1)?
