Please show all work and explain each step thoroughly. A structural system consists of two bars perfectly connected together, fixed at the left end, and subjected to the axial loads shown below (viewed from the side). Bar (1): A=2in2. Bar (2): A=1.5in2. Find the normal stress in each bar. Note: A "kip" is a kilo-pound, or 1000 pounds. So 2 kips =2000 pounds. The 10 kip load is applied exactly at the interface between the two bars. Answers: 1=4ksi(T),2=1.33ksi(C).
