Three solid bars, each with square cross sections, make up the axial assembly shown. Two loads of P = 31 kN are applied to the assembly at flange B, two loads of Q = 21 kN are applied at C, and one load of R = 53 kN is applied at end D. Bar (1) has a width of b1 = 100 mm. Calculate the width b2 required for bar (2) if the normal stress magnitude in bar (2) must equal the normal stress magnitude in bar (1).
