The aluminum rod ABC (E = 10.1 x 106 psi), which consists of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is to be replaced with a cylindrical steel rod DE (E = 29 x 106 psi) of the same overall length. Determine the minimum required diameter d of the steel rod if its vertical deformation is not to exceed the deformation of the aluminum rod under the same load.
