A load of P= 130 kN is supported by a structure consisting of rigid bar ABC, two identical solid bronze[E = 100 GPa)rods (1), and a solid steel [E = 200 GPa] rod (2), as shown in the figure. All rods are unstressed before load Pis applied to the rigid bar directly underneath joint B. Assume perfect connections at all joints. The bronze rods (1) each have a length of L1 = 2300 mm, a diameter of 25 mm, and a cross-sectional area of 491 mm2 Steel rod (2) has a length of L2 = 1850 mm, a diameter of 20 mm, and a cross-sectional area of 314 mm2 Determine the axial force that is produced in steel rod (2) after load Pis applied to the rigid bar. a a (1) (1) L1 L2 (2) OA OB P
