In the course pack, we looked at this problem with three aluminum 

In the course pack, we looked at this problem with three aluminum rods supporting this 1000-pound beam, and found that the tensile forces were 400 pounds in rods A and C and 200 pounds in rod B. a. What are the tensile forces in the rods if the temperature of all three rods is increased by 50 degrees F (all rods are aluminum)? b. What are the tensile forces in the rods if the temperature of all three rods is increased by 50 degrees F AND rod B is made of steel while rods A and C are made of aluminum? A = 0.25 in A = 0.5 in A = 0.5 in A B C 60 in 60 in 120 in
