1. The lower ends of the three bars in the figure are at the same level before the uniform rigid block weighing 40 kips is attached. Each steel bar has a length of 3ft, and area of 1.0in², and E = 12x10 psi. For the bronze bar, the area is 1.5in² and E = 12x10 psi. Determine a) the length of the bronze bar so that the load on each steel bar is twice the load on the bronze bar, and b) the length of the bronze bar that will make the steel stress twice the bronze stress. Bronze Steel Steel 2ft 2ft
