Question: Problem 3 - 1 The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is supported by vertical bars B E and C F and is loaded by vertical forces

Problem 3-1 The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is supported
by vertical bars BE and CF and is loaded by vertical forces
P1=360kN and P2=200kN acting at points A and D,
respectively (see figure). Bars BE and CF are made of steel
(E=200GPa ) and have cross-sectional areas ABE=12,000mm2
and ACF=7,000mm2. The distances between various points on
the bars are shown in the figure.
Determine the vertical displacements A and D of points A
and D, respectively.
Problem 3 - 1 The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is
