SITUATION. As shown in the figure below, a rigid bar with negligible mass is pinned at O and attachec to two vertical rods. Assume that the rods were initially stress-free. Allowable stress in steel is 120 MPa and in bronze is 60 MPa. For this problem, a = 1.8m; b = 1.3m; c = 1.7m. b Steel: A=900 mm² E= 200 GPa L=1.5m C Bronze: A 1200 mm E=83 GPa L=2.0m What is the value of P without exceeding the allowable stress of bronze, in kN?
