Question
A pin-connected structure is supported and loaded as
shown. Member ABCD is rigid and is horizontal before
load P is applied. Bars (1) and (2) are both made from steel
(E = 30,000 ksi) and both have a cross-sectional area of
1.25 in2. A concentrated load of P = 9 kips acts on the
%3D
structure at D. Determine:
a) the normal stresses in bars (1) and (2), and
b) the downward deflection of point D on the rigid bar.
