Problem 5.37 - Statically Indeterminate Axial Loads

Two aluminum circular rods are placed between two fixed walls. Member 1 is on the left and member 2 is on the right. Member 2 has diameter d[1] and length L[1]. Member 2 has diameter d[2] and length L[2]. [Problem adapted from © Kurt Gramoll CC BY NC-SA 4.0]
