Q- Two cylindrical rods, one of steel and the other of brass, are joined at C and restrained (fixed) by rigid supports at A and E with their natural lengths as shown in the figure. Now forces of 60 kN and 40 kN are applied at points B abd D resoectively. Knowing that E(steel)=200 GPa and E(brass)=105 GPa, determine
(a) the reaction at A and E
(b) the deflection of point C.
