A rigid steel plate is supported by three posts of high-strength concrete each having an effective cross-sectional area A = 40,000 mm2 and length L = 2 m (see figure). Before the load P is applied, the middle post is shorter than the others by an amount s = 1.0 mm. The allowable compressive stress in the concrete is 20 MPa and E of concrete is 30 GPa. What is the minimum load P (kN) needed to close the gap?
