3. Figure 4 shows a horizontal beam ABCD supported by am BE. The beam pin jointed to a rigid wall at A, and arm 

3. Figure 4 shows a horizontal beam ABCD supported by am BE. The beam pin jointed to a rigid wall at A, and arm is pin jointed to a rigid wall at E. The beam carries a load PF at F and PG at G. Other dimensions notation is given in Table 1 and numerical values in FILE-2. (Use E = 200 GPa. v = 0.3). You are required to deduce (determine) the following: (a) Stress and final length in BAR 1. (b) Stress and final length in BAR 2 (c) Stress and final length in BAR 3. (d) Force in the arm.
