Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
Rod AB is made of steel (E = 29 x \(10^6\) psi), and rod BC is made of aluminum (E = 10.4 x \(10^6\) psi). If force \(Q = 10\) kips, \(R = 5\) kips, and \(P = 5\) kips, find the deflections of points B and D.
### Diagram Explanation
- **Structure Overview**: The diagram illustrates a composite rod consisting of two sections, AB and BC.
- **Section AB**:
- **Material**: Steel
- **Modulus of Elasticity (E)**: 29 x \(10^6\) psi
- **Diameter**: 3 inches
- **Length**: 24 inches
- **Section BC**:
- **Material**: Aluminum
- **Modulus of Elasticity (E)**: 10.4 x \(10^6\) psi
- **Diameter**: 1 inch
- **Total Length**: 20 inches (comprising two 10-inch segments)
- **Forces**:
- **Q**: 10 kips, applied at the start of the steel section.
- **R**: 5 kips, applied between points C and D on the aluminum section.
- **P**: 5 kips, applied at the end of the aluminum section at D.
### Task
Calculate the deflections at points B and D due to the applied forces on this composite rod structure.
