The rigid bars AB and CD shown in the figure are supported by pins at A and C
and the two rods. If
a force P = 76,363 kN is applied, Calculate:
7.1 The force in the steel and aluminium rope.
(3)
7.2 The vertical extension (in mm) of the aluminium rope.
(2)
7.3 The rotation of bar AB (in degrees).
(2)
7.4 The vertical deflection of point B.
(2)
7.5 The vertical deflection of point D.
(3)
7.6 The vertical deflection at the force P.
(1)
7.7 The rotation of bar CD (in degrees).

7.8 If the yield stress for aluminium is 414 MPa, does the aluminium rope act
elastically? Why?
