The assembly shown consists of two posts, AB and CD, each made from material 1 having a modulus of elasticity of E1 and a cross-sectional area A1, and a central post EF made from material 2 having a modulus of elasticity E2 and a cross-sectional area A2. If posts AB and CD are to be replaced by those having a material 2, determine the required cross-sectional area of these new posts so that both assemblies deform the same amount when...
