For the tapered bar shown in the fig determine the displacement, stress and
reaction in the bar.
Given A1 = 1000 mm2 and A2 = 500 mm2. E = 2X105 N/mm2.
The Tapered bar is modified into 2 elements as shown below with
modified area of cross section.
(1000 + 500) / 2 = 750 mm2
A1 = (1000 + 750) / 2 = 875 mm2
A2 = (750 + 500) / 2 = 625 mm2
