The stepped rod of length 2 m, shown in the figure, is fixed at both ends (A and C). The area of cross-section of portion AB is 200 mm2 and that of portion BC is 100 mm2. Force F is applied at section B such that the section is displaced by 0.1 mm in the direction of the force. Young’s modulus of the rod is 200 GPa. The applied force F in N is _______ (round off to the nearest integer)
Answer: 5990 to 6010
