The beam is supported by two rods $AB$ and $CD$ that have

cross$-$sectional areas of $16m{m}^2$ and $8m{m}^2,$ respectively.

Part A

Determine the position $d$ of the $6-kN$ load so that the average

normal stress in each rod is the same.

Construction Geometry is essential to engineering design because:

engineering design requires exact size and shape to secure the the function.

engineering design requires exact position and relationships between features and between components.

because engineers know of no better way to securing the designer intent.
