A plate $(AC)$ is connected to steel flat bars by pins at A and $B.$ The horizontal steel flat bar $ED$ is also connected via pins at points $E$ and $D.$

Member AE consists of two $6mm$ by $25mm$ parallel flat bars, while members EB and ED are single flat bars with dimensions $8mm$ by $30mm.$

If the structure is subjected to a $2-$kip vertical force at point A$,$ find the axial stress in members $AE,EB,$ and $ED.$
