Incorrect increase?
Mark -0.33 out
of 1.00

Select one:
a. 28.7 kN in compression

b. 12.7 kN in tension  The upwards force generated by the column

on the beam will deflect the beam upwards by the same amount that the
column will move upwards, which is equal to the difference between its
thermal expansion and its axial shortening.
