Question: Problem 2 ( 1 2 points ) - The rigid bar is pinned at A and is supported by two identical deformable rods at E

Problem 2(12 points)- The rigid bar is pinned at A and is supported by two identical deformable rods at E and C. A force \(\mathbf{F}\) is applied at B. The rods have a modulus of elasticity of \(\mathbf{E}_{\mathbf{r}}\) and a cross-sectional area of \(\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{r}}\). Follow the steps below to algebraically express the displacement of point B in terms of the given variables.
(a) Draw the FBD of the rigid bar. (3 points)
(b) Express the equilibrium equations for the rigid bar. Hint: take moment about a point that simplifies your system of linear equations. (3 points)
(c) Express the compatibility equation of rods EF and CD.(2 points)
(d) Express the deformation of point \(\mathrm{B},\boldsymbol{\delta}_{\mathbf{B}}\), in terms of the given variables \(\mathbf{E}_{\mathbf{r}},\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{r}},\mathbf{F}\), and \(\mathbf{a}\).(4 points)
