In Figure P3.15, rigid bar ABC is supported by axial member (1), which has a cross-sectional area of 400 mm2, an elastic modulus of E = 70 GPa, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of. After load P is applied to the rigid bar and the temperature rises 40°C, a strain gage affixed to member (1) measures a strain increase of 2,150. Determine
(a) the normal stress in member (1).
(b) the magnitude of applied load P.
(c) the deflection of the rigid bar at C.
