Question

A compound steel (E = 30,000 ksi) bar is subjected to the loads shown.  Bar (1) has a cross-sectional area of A1 = 0.35 in.2 and a length of L1 = 105 in.  Bar (2) has an area of A2 = 0.35 in.2 and a length of L2 = 115 in.  Bar (3) has an area of A3 = 0.13 in.2 and a length of L3 = 35 in.  The loads and angles are P = 30 kips, α = 38°, Q = 10 kips, β = 62°, and R = 12 kips.  Determine the vertical deflection of end A. A downwards deflection is positive, while an upwards deflection is negative.
