Hi all, I have a rod which is part of a greater structure and I resolved the forces along the rod. This rod is under tension with a force FcosQ on the left end (force direction towards left) and FsinQ on the other end (force direction towards the right). I need to find the extension of the rod...

Please take a look at the slides attached. Suppose I apply a force F on the right hand side and another on the left hand side as shown in the following diagram. Suppose that the material can be stretched. Now one of my friends said that the extension is delta due to a force F while another...
