Question

A solid brass [E= 97 GPa] axial member is loaded and supported as shown. Segments (1) and (2) each have a diameter of 27 mm and segment (3) has a

diameter of 15 mm. Assume L1 = 1.5 m, L2= 1.2 m, L3 = 1.5 m, R = 38 kN, Q= 16 kN, and P= 28 kN. Determine:(a) the deformation of segment (2).(b) the deflection of joint D with respect to the fixed support at A.(c) the maximum normal stress in the entire axial member.
