Question 50
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
Linearly elastic, homogeneous, uniform bars BC and FG shown in the figure have fixed supports at B and G, respectively. For both the bars, axial rigidity is 2000 kN. A gap of 2 mm exists between D and F prior to application of any load (i.e. P = 0). Small deformation and infinitesimal strain assumptions are valid for the given bars.
The magnitude of the horizontal reaction (in kN) at B after application of the axial force P of 20 kN at C is ______ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
