A bar having a cross sectional area of $700\text{ mm}^2$ is subjected to axial loads at the positions indicated in figure. Find the value of stress in the segment QR?
Show Hint
When calculating internal forces on segmented bars, always cut the segment of interest and sum all external forces to either the left or the right of the cut.
This avoids mistakes and ensures consistent sign conventions.
