1. A rod of length 1.50 m and diameter 0.12 m is mounted in a rigid wall. A vertical bar of length 0.5 m is attached to the free end from the centroid of the rod. The rigid bar is loaded with a horizontal force of P= 50 kN at its free end. A torque T=-8 kN.m is also applied to the free end, as shown in Fig. 1. An axial test of the material of the rod shows that it has the following mechanical properties: E=210 GPa, o = 280 MPa, and v 3 (The origin of the coordinate system is at the wall). (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the structure in Fig. 1.
