![### Educational Task: Analysis of a Loaded Steel Bar
The image presents a mechanical problem involving a steel bar assembly, snugly fit between two fixed rigid supports, labeled C and A, before the application of a load at Collar B.
### Problem Details:
- **Material:** Steel
- **Elastic Modulus (E):** 200 GPa
- **Bar Characteristics:** Circular and solid with a diameter of 15 mm
- **Positions and Distances:**
- Length from C to B: 3 m
- Length from B to A: 2 m
- **Load Applied at B:** 6 kN directed towards point A
### Tasks:
#### A) Show the Free Body Diagram (FBD) and Compatibility Equation:
- This involves drawing the FBD to illustrate forces acting on the bar, showing the load at B and reaction forces at A and C.
- The compatibility equation should relate to deformations in the bar owing to elasticity and constraints by supports.
#### B) Determine the Support Reactions at A and C (Horizontal Forces Only):
- Calculate the reaction forces, \( F_A \) and \( F_C \), at supports A and C caused by the 6 kN applied load.
**Calculation Fields:**
- **Left side:**
\[
F_C = \underline{\qquad\qquad\qquad}
\]
- **Right side:**
\[
F_A = \underline{\qquad\qquad\qquad}
\]
By completing these tasks, the student will understand how to analyze forces and compatibility in a mechanical system with given constraints and material properties.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa572c903-8f29-4a18-ba49-8181d6c8cb85%2Ff2c20cc7-24d1-480c-a1a4-33695471631e%2Fk9nu97q_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
