The rigid bar shown in the figure is fixed to the top of the three posts made of steel and aluminum. The posts each have a length of 250mm when no load is applied to the bar and the temperature is T1=200C. Determine the force supported by each post if the bar is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 120kN/m and the temperature is raised to 70°C. The diameter of each post and its material properties are listed in the figure.
