Question: 1 . ( 1 0 marks ) Fig. 1 - 1 shows a statically indeterminate truss under a horizontal force of 1 0 0 0

1.(10 marks) Fig. 1-1 shows a statically indeterminate truss under a horizontal force of 1000 kN at node D and support settlement of 30 mm at node C. The structure stiffness matrix \(\mathbf{K}\)(unit: \(\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}\)) is given below. Take \( E A=12000\mathrm{kN}\) for all members. Solve this problem using Stiffness Method. The code numbers and member's orientations are defined in the same figure.
a) Use the given structural stiffness matrix \(\mathbf{K}\) to determine the unknown nodal displacements at node D.
