Write the equilibrium equations for the beam.

The sum of forces in the vertical direction

gives the equation F1 + F2 - Load = 0.0. This equation has two unknowns so it cannot be
solved immediately.

Write a moment equation for the sum of moments about point A: F2 10,000 m - Load
5,000 m = 0.0. Solve the moment equation for the force in the rod connected at B. The
applied load is 200,000 N, and the force carried by the rod at B is 100,000 N.
Substituting F2 into the sum of vertical forces equation gives F1 = 100,000 N.

For the rod at A, the diameter is 0.0 mm, giving a cross-sectional area of 78,540 mm.
The normal stress for this rod is 100,000 N 78,540 mm = 1,273 MPa. Note: Make the
units consistent before performing the hand calculation.

For the rod at B, the diameter is 0.0 mm, giving a cross-sectional area of 176,715 mm.
The normal stress for this rod is 100,000 N 176,715 mm = 0,566 MPa. Note: Make
the units consistent before performing the hand calculation.
