Rigid bar ABC is supported by two aluminum alloy (E = 10,000 ksi) rods as shown below. The horizontal distance between rods (1) and (2) is a = 120 in. Rod (1) has a length of L1 = 87 in. and a cross-sectional area of A1 = 0.65 in.2.  Rod (2) has a length of L2 = 84 in. and a cross-sectional area of A2 = 1.15 in.2. Rigid bar ABC is to remain horizontal under a load of P = 25 kips. Determine the distance x (in inches rounded to the nearest tenths) from joint A to the location of load P so that bar ABC remains horizontal.

Bars

In civil engineering, bars refer to steel reinforcement bars or rebars. These are structural members primarily used for reinforcement purposes in masonry works. A bar is characterized by its cross-sectional area, which is negligible compared to its length. Bars are usually manufactured by steel which is uniform throughout the length, or by meshing multiple steel wires. Other materials of the bar include carbon steel, glass fiber, carbon fiber, and basalt fiber. The reinforcing bars are coated with epoxy resins and other materials to enhance some of their properties including corrosion resistance.
