Determine the displacement at B Express your answer to three
Determine the displacement at B Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units The assembly consists of two rigid bars that are originally horizontal. (Figure 1) They are supported by pins and 0.30-in.-diameter A-36 steel rods. A vertical load of 5 kip is applied to the bottom bar AB. For A-36 steel E 29(103) ksi.

Solution
Force in bar BE = 5/2=2.5 kips
Force in bar CF = 2.5*2/10=0.5 kips
area of cross section of pins CF and EB = pi*0.32/4=0.0706 in2
axial stress in CF = 0.5/0.0706=7.07 ksi
strain in CF = 7.07/29000=2.439*10-4
deflection of point C = 24*2.439*10-4=0.00585 in
deflection of point E=0.00585*2/10=0.00117 in
axial stress in BE=2.5/0.0706=35.368 ksi
strain in BE=35.368/29000=0.00122
displacement of B with respect to E=0.00122*18=0.02195 in
total displacement of B=0.02195+0.00117=0.0231 in
