The twobar truss shown in figure 1.15 has circular cross sections with a diameter of \(0.25 \mathrm{~cm}\) and Young's modulus \(E=30 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\). An external force \(F=50 \mathrm{~N}\) is applied in the horizontal direction at node 2. Calculate the displacement of each node and stress in each element.
