Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,349 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 16 in., c = 31 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,533 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 12 in., c = 30 in., and d = 11 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.
