(a) Compute the horizontal displacement of joint \(B\) produced by the \(240-\mathrm{kN}\) load in Figure P8.10.

For all bars, area \(=2400 \mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) and \(E=200 \mathrm{GPa}\).

(b) Assuming that no load acts, determine the horizontal displacement of joint \(B\) if support \(A\) moves \(20 \mathrm{~mm}\) to the right and \(30 \mathrm{~mm}\) down and support \(E\) moves downward \(36 \mathrm{~mm}\).
