The rigid bar shown in Figure 2 is supported by the pin at A and the rod from B to D (1). The rod (1) has a cross sectional area of 500 mm2, an elastic modulus of E = 80 GPa, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of a= 22x10-6/C. Initially the bar ABC is in a horizontal position, then the temperature of the rod (1) is reduced by 40°C. What is the deflection of point C after the temperature is reduced if the load P is equal to 0?

When rod (1) is cooled, point B will
