Homework Statement
Homework Equations
[itex]\delta[/itex] = PL/AE
The Attempt at a Solution
As you can see I know that [itex]F_{cd}[/itex] is related to [itex]F_{be}[/itex]
and a second relationship can be found by the geometry of the deformations.
I end up with [itex]F_{cd}[/itex] = [itex]11.9^{kN}[/itex] but the answer is supposed to be
9.73 kN.
I am unsure when it comes to finding the deformation in CD. I'm not sure if the deformation is expressed correctly. My reasoning is: tightening the bolt causes a 'positive' deformation and a 'negative' deformation comes from compressing the bolt.
