A 2 m copper bar subjected to a tensile load 180 kN is suspended from a pin that is supported by two identical steel posts as shown. Determine the total deformation of the lower end of the copper bar due to the applied tensile load. HINT: Note that the steel posts support the pin where the copper bar is attached.
