Question $2$

$-$ BCE has two supports links as shown and is a rigid member.

$-$ The rigid member is supported by the twosupport links as shown and is constructed using steel. $\backslash (\backslash$mathrm$\{$E$\}=35\backslash$times $10^\{6\}\backslash$mathrm$\{$psi$\}\backslash )$

a$)$ Determine the forces at both support links

b$)$ Determine the deformation at both links AB and CD$.$

Draw a free body diagram and show all steps.
