The bar shown has a varying cross section and is fixed rigidly at both walls. The crosssectional area of the narrower section is A; the cross-sectional area of the wider section is larger by a factor of m , or m A. Using the force (flexibility) method, determine
a. The reactions at both walls for the given applied load P.
b. The displacement of the point D at which the load P acts.
