2. The assembly shown consists of a bronze rod (1) and an aluminum rod (2), each having a crosssectional area of 0.15in.2. The assembly is subjected to loads of P=1,900lb and Q=3,200lb, acting in the directions shown. Determine the horizontal displacement uB of coupling B with respect to rigid support A. Use L1=160 in., L2=40 in., E1=16106 psi, and E2=10106 psi. Answer: uB=0.0867in
