Transcribed Image Text:

The bar BCD of length L has a constant thickness t, but its width varies as shown. The cross-sectional area A of the bar is given by A= bt(1+x/L). The ends of the bar are attached to the rigid walls, and the bar is initially stress-free. Compute the reactions at B and D after the force P is applied at the midpoint C of the bar.
