1. A steel bar ABCD of varying cross-section is subjected to the axial forces as shown in Fig.
Find the value of P for equilibrium. If the modulus of elasticity E = 2.1 x 105 N/mm2,
determine the elongation of the bar.
2. A vertical prismatic bar is fastened at its upper end and supported at the lower end by
anunyielding floor as shown in Fig. Determine the reaction R exerted by the floor of the
bar if external loads P1 = 1500 N and P2 = 3000 N are applied at the intermediate points
shown.
