Transcribed Image Text:A vertical steel bar ABC is pin-supported at its upper end and loaded by a force P
at its lower end (Fig. 2-12a). A horizontal beam BDE is pinned to the vertical bar
at joint Band supported at point D. The beam carries a load P2 at end E.
The upper part of the vertical bar (segment AB) has length L1 = 20.0 in. and
cross-sectional area Aj = 0.25 in."; the lower part (segment BC) has length
L2 = 34.8 in. and area Az = 0.15 in.² The modulus of elasticity E of the steel is
29.0 x 106 psi. The left- and right-hand parts of beam BDE have lengths
a = 28 in. and b = 25 in., respectively.
Calculate the vertical displacement &c at point C if the load P = 2100 lb
and the load P2 = 5600 lb. (Disregard the weights of the bar and the beam.)
