The rigid member is held in the position shown by three A-36 steel tie rods. Each rod

Question:

The rigid member is held in the position shown by three A-36 steel tie rods. Each rod has a diameter of 20 mm. Determine the forces in the rods if a turnbuckle on rods AB and CD undergoes one and a half revolution. The lead of the screw is 0.9 mm.

Neglect the size of the turnbuckle and assume that it is rigid.

The lead would cause the rod, when unloaded, to shorten 0.9 mm when the turnbuckle is rotated one revolution.
