Thank you PROVIDE HANDWRITTEN ANSWERarrow_forwardThe assembly shown in the figure consists of an aluminum tube AB and a steel rod BC. The rod is attached to the tube through the rigid collar at B and passes through the tube. The cross-sectional area of the rod is 75 mm2 and the cross-sectional area of the tube is 400 + UV in mm2, where UV is 99. A tensile load of 80 kN is applied to the rod.
