1. The lower ends of three bars shown are at the same level
before the rigid homogenous 20Mg block is attached. Each
steel bar has an area of 600mm2 and E = 200GN/m2. For the
bronze bar the area is 900 mm2 and E = 83 GN/m2. Find the
stress developed in each bar.

After the block was attached, the rods were elongated or stretched due to the block.
The block will remain horizontal because of symmetry.
Elongation in steel is equal to elongation in bronze.
