The two-dimensional framework consists of two bars CE and CD pinned at C, D and E; and a horizontal bar AB pinned at A as shown in the figure. Because of an assembly error the bar AB is slightly short of length x. Determine the required axial force necessary to close the gap x. All bars are made of steel and of the same cross-section and modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa. 3.00m 3.00m B 30° 1.50m
