Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,567 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 8 in., b = 16 in., c = 39 in., and d = 9 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.
