Consider the bar shown in Fig. P3.1. Cross-sectional area A ₂ = 1.2 in 2, and Young's modulus E = 30 x 10 ⁶ psi. If q ₁ = 0.02 in. and q ₂ = 0.025 in ., determine the following (by hand calculation):

(a) the displacement at point P,

(b) the strain E and stress o,

(c) the element stiffness matrix, and

(d) the strain energy in the element.
