A rigid bar ABCD is supported by two bars as shown in the figure. There is no strain in the vertical bars before load P is applied. After load P is applied, the normal strain in rod (1) is -1260 μm/m. Determine the normal strain in rod (2) if there is a 1-mm gap in the connection at pin C before the load is applied.
