### Problem Statement

In the structure below, the vertical bar \( A \) has a modulus of elasticity of 210 GPa, a length of 475 mm, and a cross-sectional area of 260 mm². The post \( B \) has a modulus of elasticity of 14 GPa, a length of 450 mm, and a cross-sectional area of 5300 mm². The rigid bar \( CDE \) is horizontal before the load \( P = 222 \) kN is applied.

Determine:
a) The axial stress in the vertical bar \( A \) and post \( B \).
b) The deflection at point \( D \).

### Diagram Explanation

The given diagram illustrates a structure with the following components:

- **Vertical bar \( A \)**: It extends vertically and is characterized by a modulus of elasticity, length, and cross-sectional area as specified in the problem statement.
- **Post \( B \)**: Positioned vertically, this post is also defined by its modulus of elasticity, length, and cross-sectional area as given.
- **Rigid bar \( CDE \)**: Initially horizontal, this bar connects to the top of bar \( A \) and post \( B \). It is acted upon by a load \( P \) applied at point \( E \).

#### Key Dimensions
- Distance from point \( C \) to point \( D \): 480 mm
- Distance from point \( D \) to point \( E \): 870 mm

### To Determine

1. **Axial Stress Calculations**:
   - For vertical bar \( A \)
   - For post \( B \)

2. **Deflection at Point \( D \)**:

This structure setup involves applying the principles of mechanics of materials, including stress-strain relationships and deflection formulas, to find the required quantities.

---

Use appropriate formulas and relationships to find these values, considering both material and geometric properties.
