Question

a) Determine the downward displacement δ of the lower end of the copper bar with respect to the 
base support of the steel post at point A due to a load P = 150 kN.

b)What is the maximum permissible load Pmax if the displacement δ is limited to 1.0 mm?

A long rectangular copper bar under a tensile load P hangs from a pin that is supported by two steel posts
as shown in figure below.
The copper bar has a length of 2.0 m, a rectangular cross section of 20 mm x 200 mm, and a modulus of
elasticity Ecu = 100 GPa.
Each steel post has a height of 0.5 m, a rectangular cross section of 20 mm x 250 mm, and a modulus of
elasticity Es = 200 GPa.
