Question
**Problem Statement:**

Rigid bar ABCD is supported by two bars. There is no strain in the vertical bars before the load \( P \) is applied. After load \( P \) is applied, the normal strain in bar (2) is measured as -3800 \(\mu\varepsilon \) (microstrain). Use the dimensions \( L_1 = 1900 \) mm, \( L_2 = 1425.00 \) mm, \( a = 190 \) mm, \( b = 380 \) mm, and \( c = 143 \) mm. Determine:

(a) The normal strain in bar (1).

(b) The normal strain in bar (1) if there is a \(\Delta = 1\) mm gap in the connection at pin \( C \) before the load is applied.

(c) The normal strain in bar (1) if there is a \(\Delta = 1\) mm gap in the connection at pin \( B \) before the load is applied.

**Diagram Explanation:**

1. **Rigid Bar ABCD Configuration:**
   - A horizontal rigid bar labeled "Rigidal bar".
   - Pin locations at \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \).
   - Horizontal distances are labeled: \( a \) (distance between \( A \) and \( B \)), \( b \) (distance between \( B \) and \( C \)), and \( c \) (distance between \( C \) and \( D \)).
   - Vertical bars connecting at \( B \) (bar 1) and \( C \) (bar 2).

2. **Dimensions & Forces:**
   - The height of the vertical bar at \( B \) is \( L_1 \).
   - The height of the vertical bar at \( C \) is \( L_2 \).
   - A downward force \( P \) is applied at \( D \).

**Formulas & Calculations:**

**(a) Calculation of Normal Strain in Bar (1):**

Given parameters:
\[ \varepsilon_2 = -3800 \, \mu\varepsilon = -0.0038 \]
\[ L_1 = 1900 \text{ mm} \]
\[ L_2 = 1425.00 \text{ mm} \]
\[ a = 190 \text{
