fixed
at the top and 600 mm apart. The diameter and length of each rod are 30
mm and 375 mm respectively. A cross bar fixed to the rods at the lower ends
carries a load of 5 kN such that the cross bar remains horizontal even after
loading. Find the stress in each rod and the position of the load on the bar.
