The assembly shown in (Figure 1) consists of two 2014-T6 aluminum rods CD and EF having a diameter of d=30mm an A992 steel rod AB having a diameter of 30mm, and a rigid member G. The supports at A,D and F each have a stiffness of k=300MN/m. Assume L=770mm
Determine the average normal stress developed in rod EF when the load is applied Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
