Polycarbonate bars (1) and (2) are attached at their lower ends to a slider block at B that travels vertically inside of a fixed smooth slot. Load P is applied to the slider block. Each bar has a cross-sectional area of 85 mm2, a lenght of 1.25 m, and an elastic modulus E = 8GPa. Use dimensions of a = 1.15 m and b = 0.90 m. For an applied load of P =1700 N, determine: (a) the forces in bars (1) and (2) (b) the defection at B of the slider block
