Rigid bar ABC is supported by bronze rods (1) and (2) as shown below. A concentrated load of P = 40 kips is applied to the free end of rod (3). Each of the rods has an elastic modulus of E= 15000 ksi and an area of 0.2 in.². The rod lengths are L₁ = 15 ft, L₂ = 22 ft, and L3 = 11 ft. If a = 24 in. and b = 42 in., what is the downward deflection of the rigid bar at A? (2) L2 (1) L₁ (3) D B L3 P Answer: Downward deflection at A = i b in.
