Q2 Rod AB consists of two cylindrical portions AC and BC, each with a cross-sectional area of
1750 mm2. Portion AC is made of a mild steel with E = 200 GPa and σy = 250 MPa, and
portion BC is made of a high-strength steel with E = 200 GPa and σy = 345 MPa. A load P is
applied at C as shown in FIGURE Q2. If P is gradually increased from zero until the
deflection of point C reaches a maximum value δm = 0.3 mm and then decreased back to
zero. Determine:

(a) The maximum value of P
