Question: The pin - connected structure shown in the figure consists of a rigid beam ABCD and two supporting bars. B Bar ( 1 ) is

The pin-connected structure shown in the figure consists of a rigid beam ABCD and two supporting bars. B Bar (1) is a bronze alloy [E=93GPa with a cross-sectional area of A1=220mm2.Bar(2) is an aluminum alloy [[:E=69GPa} with a cross-sectional area of A2=750mm2. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied; however, there is a 4-mm clearance in the pin connection at A. Assume L1=2000mm,a=870mm,b=510mm,c=410mm, and L2=1410mm. If a load of P=136kN is applied at B, determine
(a) the normal stresses in both bars (1) and (2).
(b) the downward deflection of point A on the rigid bar.
