M2.2 Normal strain in pinned rod assembly 2,200 mm (1) (2) 2,600 mm A B 0.75 m 0.85 m 0.85 m P A rigid steel bar AB is pinned at A and supported by two rods. There is no strain in the rods before load P is applied. After load P is applied, the axial strain in rod (1) is 400 με. Determine the axial strain in rod (2) and the downward deflection of the rigid bar at B. Try One scenes £2 (με) |VB (mm) 1st 2nd 3rd attempt enter
