SITUATION. The tower for a transmission line is modeled by the truss shown. The crossed members in the center section of the truss may be assumed to be capable of supporting tension only. Given: P=2.8kN 0=15⁰ a=3m b=3m c = 5m 5 panels@(a)m each F E b B b b C Zoom image P G

For the frame and load shown in the figure,determines the components of all the forces thatthey act on the ABE element.

Rigid bar ABC is supported by two aluminum alloy (E = 10,000 ksi) rods as shown below. The horizontal distance between rods (1) and (2) is a = 120 in. Rod (1) has a length of L1 = 87 in. and a cross-sectional area of A1 = 0.65 in.2.  Rod (2) has a length of L2 = 84 in. and a cross-sectional area of A2 = 1.15 in.2. Rigid bar ABC is to remain horizontal under a load of P = 25 kips. Determine the distance x (in inches rounded to the nearest tenths) from joint A to the location of load P so that bar ABC remains horizontal.
