Question: 1 . Consider the pin - jointed system as shown above. For each bar, assume: EA = 1 x 1 0 7 N . (

1. Consider the pin-jointed system as shown above. For each bar, assume: EA =1 x 107 N.
(i) Determine the global stiffness matrix formed from elements 1 and 2.
(ii) Determine the displacement at node 3, if the following loading and constraints are applied:
Nodes 1 and 2 constrained horizontally and vertically; Node 3 constrained horizontally. An upward vertical load of 10000 N applied at Node 3.
(iii) Determine the displacement at node 3, if the following loading and constraints are applied:
Nodes 1 and 2 constrained horizontally and vertically; a horizontal force of 10000 N in the positive x-direction applied at Node 3.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO SHOW AND DERIVE THE GLOBAL STIFFNESS MATRIX FORMED FROM ELEMENTS 1 AND 2. CLEAR STEPWISE WORKING IS MUST IF NOT I WILL REPORT THE SOLUTION.
