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 6 mm by 25 mm 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. E 4' A B 2 kip -3'- -3'- Figure 3.1: Structure with a plate and steel flat bars
