Rigid bar ABC is supported by two aluminum alloy (E = 10,000 ksi) rods as shown below. The horizontal distance between rods (1) and (2) is a = 150 in. Rod (1) has a length of L₁ = 99 in. and a cross-sectional area of A₁ = 0.55 in.². Rod (2) has a length of L₂ = 96 in. and a cross-sectional area of A₂ = 0.95 in.². Rigid bar ABC is to remain horizontal under a load of P = 35 kips. Determine the distance x from joint A to the location of load P so that bar ABC remains horizontal.

Question
Rigid bar ABC is supported by two aluminum alloy (E = 10,000 ksi) rods as shown below. The horizontal distance between rods (1) and
(2) is a = 150 in.
Rod (1) has a length of L₁ = 99 in. and a cross-sectional area of A₁ = 0.55 in.².
Rod (2) has a length of L₂ = 96 in. and a cross-sectional area of A₂ = 0.95 in.².
Rigid bar ABC is to remain horizontal under a load of P = 35 kips. Determine the distance x from joint A to the location of load P so that
bar ABC remains horizontal.
