Three equally clared rods in the same vertical Plane
Support a rigid bor B. Two outer rods are of brass
each 800mm long and 35mm diameter. The central steel
rod is 1200mm long and 400 milimeters in diameter.
Determine the forces in bars due to an applied force
Of 120KN through the mid-Point of the bar. The bar
remains horizontal after the application of load.
Take Es/Eb = 4.
