A short column is composed of two steel segments, each with a length of 4.9 in. Segment (1) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.30 in. and a wall thickness of 0.16 in. Segment (2) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.62 in. and a wall thickness of 0.16 in. How much shorter does the column become after a load of P = 870 lb is applied?

Axial loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to the solid cylindrical rods. One load of P = 90 kN is applied to the assembly at A, two loads Q = 20 kN are applied at B, and two loads R = 150 kN are applied at C. Determine the total change in length of the assembly.L1 = 0.26 m, E1 = 192 GPa, A1 = 0.0012 m2L2 = 0.40 m, E2 = 210 GPa, A2 = 0.0005 m2L3 = 0.36 m, E3 = 104 GPa, A3 = 0.0016 m2
