A load of P = 4900 N is acting on member AC. The length of AC is d = 300 mm. The cross-sectional area of AB is 375 mm2 while the cross-sectional area of C is 575 mm2 . Determine the magnitude (in N) of the force acting on rod AB if the compressive stress in the smooth support C is equal to the tensile stress in the rod AB. Round off the final answer to two decimal places.
