Question: The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is supported by vertical bars BE ad CF and is loaded by vertical force P 1 = 4 0 0

The horizontal rigid beam ABCD is supported by vertical bars BE ad CF and is loaded
by vertical force P1=400kN and P2=360kN 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=11,100mm2 and ACF=9,280mm2. 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.
