A steel rod (20 mm diameter) 500 mm long is connected to two parallel aluminum rods (15 mm diameter) each 300 mm long via a rigid plate as shown. Two 70 kN loads at applied at the end of each aluminum rod. The structure is fixed at both ends resulting in a statically indeterminate system that can be treated as the superposition of two determinate systems as presented above. Note that Rc is the reaction at C. Assume Esteel = 200 GPa and Ealuminum = 70 GPa. a) Determine the reaction force at C, Rc b) Determine the reaction force at A and B and the normal stress in the steel and aluminum rods c) Which rods are in tension and which are in compression?

A steel rod (20 mm diameter) 500 mm long is connected to two parallel aluminum rods (15 mm
diameter) each 300 mm long via a rigid plate as shown. Two 70 kN loads at applied at the end of
each aluminum rod. The structure is fixed at both ends resulting in a statically indeterminate
system that can be treated as the superposition of two determinate systems as presented above.
Note that Rc is the reaction at C. Assume Esteel = 200 GPa and Ealuminum = 70 GPa.
a) Determine the reaction force at C, Rc
b) Determine the reaction force at A and B and the normal stress in the steel and aluminum rods
c) Which rods are in tension and which are in compression?
