Question
A long rectangular copper bar under a tensile load P hangs from a pin that is supported by two steel posts
as shown in figure below.
The copper bar has a length of 2.0 m, a rectangular cross section of 20 mm x 200 mm, and a modulus of
elasticity Ecu = 100 GPa.
Each steel post has a height of 0.5 m, a rectangular cross section of 20 mm x 250 mm, and a modulus of
elasticity Es = 200 GPa.
