Okay, i think i can get it from there. Thank you for you time and patience

2p +t = 80

Okay i did that. and i have 3 unknowns. force from AB, Force from CD, and force from EF. but i guess its two unknowns because Force AB and Force CD are equal. right?

Yeah I can see that. But idk how to go about solving for it after that.

Well there's the force from member EF and the force from the wall. So to find the internal forces do I have to do some global equilibrium kind of thing?

I got Delta=(P*L)/(A*E). But idk how to find the force P. I know it shows two enternal forces. Is that the P I use for the two legs on the left?

This is homework. The only thing I can think of is that the magnitude of the change in length (delta) of each member is the same.

Axial loading problem?? Im taking a strength and materials class and i can't seem to do this problem. it would be awesome if someone could walk me through how to solve it. i have a link that shows the picture. Just some information you might need: Modulus of Elasticity (E) of brass c83400...
