SA The rod shown below is fixed to rigid supports at A and C. A load of P is applied at point B and with the initial temperature at 45°C. If the temperature of the rod is increased to 340°C, the reaction at C becomes zero. Calculate the load P. The rod is made of steel. Take length AB = 300mm, BC = 400mm and Areas of segments 1 and 2 are = 225mm² and 350mm². respectively. E = 200GPa, a = 12 x 10-6m/(m °C)... A
