The figure shows a ½ - by 1-in rectangular steel bar welded to fixed supports at each end. The bar is axially loaded by the forces FA = 12 kip and FB = 6 kip acting on pins at A and B. Assuming that the bar will not buckle laterally, find the reactions at the fixed supports, the stress in section AB, and the deflection of point A.

Use procedure 1 from Sec.4€“10.
