Problem 2.
A steel bar AD (see figure) has a cross-sectional area of 258 mm² and is loaded by forces P₁ = 12 kN,
P2=8 kN, and P3 =5.8 kN.
The lengths of the segments of the bar are a = 1.52 m, b = 0.61 m, and c= 0.91 m.
(a) Assuming that the modulus of elasticity E=207 GPa, calculate the change in length of the bar. Does
the bar elongate or shorten?
(b) By what amount P should the load P3 be increased so that the bar does not change in length when the
three loads are applied?
B
P₁
P₂
-P3
