Part A
The assembly shown in (Figure 1) consists of two posts,
AB and CD, each made from material 1 having a
modulus of elasticity of $E_1$ and a cross-sectional area
A1, and a central post EF made from material 2 having
a modulus of elasticity $E_2$ and cross-sectional area $A_2$.
If a load P is applied to the rigid cap, determine the force in material 1.
Express your answer in terms of the variables $E_1$, $E_2$, $A_1$, $A_2$, and P.
