A rigid beam BC is suspended by rods AB and CD as shown in the figure. Rod AB is made in from aluminum while rod CD is made from steel. Determine the location/placement of the 75kN concentrated load within the beam BC such that the rigid beam BC will remain horizontal after deflection. Determine the axial deformation of rods AB and CD.
