(a) Two vertical rods, one of steel and other of copper are each rigidly fixed at the top and 60 cm apart. Diameters and lengths of each of the rod are 3 cm and 3.5 cm, respectively. A crossbar fixed to the rods at the lower ends carried a load of 6000 N such that the crossbar remains horizontal even after loading. Find the stress in each rod and the position of the load on the bar. Take E for the steel as 2 x 10° N/mm² and for copper as 1 x 10° N/mm?.
