Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods. One load of P = 130 kN is applied to the assembly at A, two loads Q = 40 kN are applied at B, and two loads R = 170 kN are applied at C. Determine the total change in length of the assembly.L1 = 0.24 m, E1 = 194 GPa, A1 = 0.0013 m2L2 = 0.48 m, E2 = 200 GPa, A2 = 0.0003 m2L3 = 0.32 m, E3 = 108 GPa, A3 = 0.0015 m2
