Rod (1) has an area of A1 = 410 mm2 and a length of L1 = 3.2 m. Rod (2) has an area of A2 = 355 mm2 and a length of L2 = 1.3 m. Assume dimensions of a = 3.4 m, b = 1.2 m, and c = 1.5 m. After a load of P = 50 kN is applied to the rigid bar at D, determine: (a) the normal stresses in rods (1) and (2) (b) the magnitude of the downward deflection of the rigid bar at D. y,v (2) L2 a B C D x,u Rigid bar |(1) Answer: (a) o1 = i MPa 02 = i MPa (b) VD = i mmarrow_forwardA pin-jointed truss ABC shown below consists of two links AB and BC. These links are 6 mm thick and 20 mm wide as shown. There are support brackets at A and C. All pins are 12 mm in diameter and a vertical force, P = 9 kN is applied at pin B as shown. The angle 0 =38 deg. and the angle ẞ = 0 + 20 deg. The normal stress in link AB is (The result is accurate to one decimal place, in the unit MPa.
