A steel rod with varying cross-sectional areas is fixed at both ends, as shown in the figure below. L1=100mm, L2=50mm, A1=300mm2, A2=100mm2. The elastic modulus is ?= 2×105???, and the material has a thermal expansion coefficient of ?=12×10-6°C-1. Assuming that the rod is stress-free at 10°C . a. Calculate the normal stress in the rod assuming temperature increases to 30°C. b. Draw the normal force diagram at 30°C, with the origin and direction of x axis indicated by the red arrow.

im confused, the are witch the pressure is effecting is the are that the beam is in contact with the wall, that mean that the the force is = Q=P1/A, the the A would be 300m2/100m= L3 lets call it, and then L3 x Z, Z being the thickness of the beam in the Z direction, the same applies to P2, i think there is something missing in these solutions
