(adapted from Hibbeler
10^(th )ed. probs.
4-51&4-52) Assume bar ACEB is perfectly rigid, and is supported by two aluminum rods (EF and
CD) that are connected with pinned ends. The elastic modulus of the rods is 10 Mpsi , and they each have diameters of 1 inch. Before the 2 kip load is applied, bar ACEB is perfectly vertical, and no force is carried in the aluminum rods. After the 2 kip load is applied, determine: a. the displacement of the tip of the bar (point B) due to the applied load. b. the force carried in each rod due to the applied load. Answers: (a.)
0.00257in;(b.)
F_(CD)=0.211kip,F_(EF)=1.26kip
