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 F is applied at B. The rods have a modulus of elasticity of Er and a cross-sectional area of Ar. 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 B,B, in terms of the given variables Er,Ar,F, and a.(4 points)
