Repeat Problem 2.4-8, but assume that the bar is made of aluminum alloy and that BC is prismatic. Assume that P = 20 kips, L = 3 ft, t =1/4 in., b₁ = 2 in., b₂ = 2.5 in., and E =10,400 ksi.

Problem 2.4-8

Bar ABC is fixed at both ends (see figure) and has load P applied at B. Find reactions at A and C and displacement d_B if P = 200 kN, L = 2 m, t = 20 mm, b₁ =100 mm, b₂ =115 mm, and E = 96 GPa.
