A truss is subjected to different load combinations as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional areas of the members are as specified in the figure, and the Young's modulus of the members is 200 GPa (1\times 10^9 N/m^2):(a) Determine the horizontal deformation at point C (including direction).(b) Determine the vertical deformation at point C (including direction).(c) If the temperature of member AD uniformly increases by 60 degrees due to the wall condition, and the temperature coefficient of the member is 12\times 10^-6/\deg C, determine the vertical deformation at point C again (including direction).
