Question: external force P acts on point A and B . For case ( b ) , distributed load p ( unit: N / m )

external force P acts on point A and B . For case (b), distributed load p (unit: N/m) is applied between points C and D .(To convert to force, multiply \( p \) and length) For case (c), external force 2 P acts on point E and external force P acts on point F . The diameter of each rod is as shown in the figure. The Young's Modulus of each rod is E. Please solve the following problems.
(a)
(b)
(c)
Fig. 1
(1) For each case, determine the reaction force from the wall, \( R a, R b, R c \), and draw the FBD (Free Body Diagram).
(2) For each case, draw the variation of the axial force in the x -direction, \( N(x)\), in a graph with \( x \) on the horizontal axis and \( N \) on the vertical axis.
(3) For each case, draw the variation of the axial stress in the x -direction, \(\sigma(x)\).
(4) For each case, determine the displacement \(\delta \) at \( x=L \).
