A rigid steel bar is supported by three rods as shown. There is no strain in the rods before the load P is applied. After load P is applied, the normal strain in rods (1) is 2,740 μm/m. Assume initial rod lengths of L1 = 1,250 mm and L2 = 2,000 mm. Determine the normal strain in rod (2).

A stainless steel tube with an outside diameter of 48 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm is used as a compression member. If the axial stress in the member must be limited to 332 MPa, determine the maximum load P that the member can support.
