Question
Rigid bar ABCD is supported by a pin connection at A and by two axial bars (1) and (2). Bar (1) is a 34-in.-long bronze [E = 15000 ksi, α=α= 9.2 × 10−6/°F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 1.75 in.2. Bar (2) is a 42-in.-long aluminum alloy [E = 10300 ksi, α=α= 11.9 × 10−6/°F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 2.25 in.2. Both bars are unstressed before the load P is applied. Assume L1=34 in., L2=42 in., a=30 in., b=42 in., and c=16 in. If a concentrated load of P = 27 kips is applied to the rigid bar at D and the temperature is decreased by 120°F, determine:
(a) the normal stresses in bars (1) and (2).
(b) the normal strains in bars (1) and (2).
(c) the deflection of the rigid bar at point D.

Rigid bar ABCD is supported by a pin connection at A and by two axial bars (1) and (2). Bar (1) is a 34-in.-
long bronze [E = 15000 ksi, a = 9.2 x 10-6/°F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 1.75 in.². Bar (2) is a 42-
in.-long aluminum alloy [E = 10300 ksi, a = 11.9 × 10-6/°F] bar with a cross-sectional area of 2.25 in.².
Both bars are unstressed before the load P is applied. Assume L₁=34 in., L₂=42 in., a-30 in., b-42 in., and
c=16 in. If a concentrated load of P = 27 kips is applied to the rigid bar at D and the temperature is
decreased by 120°F, determine:
(a) the normal stresses in bars (1) and (2).
(b) the normal strains in bars (1) and (2).
(c) the deflection of the rigid
