A model steel rod made up of three circular rods of different diameters joined together as shown in Fig. P2.3-14 is loaded by four loads. Estimate the force in each segment and the displacement at sections B, C, D, and E. Also sketch the internal force diagram and the displacement diagram for the rod. Take E = 200 GPa
(a) Take PB = 20 kN, PC = 30 kN, PD = 0, and PE = 100 kN.
(b) Take PB = 0, PC = 40 kN, PD = -10 kN, and PE = 30 kN.
