A rigid beam AB of total length 3 m is supported by vertical rods at its ends, and it supports a downward load at C of P = 60 kN. as shown in Fig. P3.4-9. The diameters of the hanger rods are d1 = 25 mm and d2 = 20 mm, and both are made of steel (E = 210 GPa). Neglect the weight of beam AB. (a) At what distance x from A must the load be placed such that uB = uA? (b) How much is this displacement of the beam? (c) What are the corresponding
