The post is made from 606l-T6 aluminum and has a diameter of 50 mm. It is fixed supported at A and B, and at its center C there is a coiled spring attached to the rigid collar. If the spring is originally uncompressed, determine the compression in the spring when the load of P = 50 kN is applied to the collar.
Determine the force in each member of the loaded truss. The forces are positive if in tension, negative if in compression.
