Extracted text: The steel bars AB and BC are pinned at each end and support the load of 300 kN, as shown. The allowable tensile stress is 100 MPa and the allowable compressive stress is 60 MPa. Determine the size of each bar and also the horizontal and vertical components of displacement of point B. Take E = 200 GPa. Neglect any possibility of lateral buckling of bar BC. 30 300 kN 60° 3m
