Answer the problem completely. Present your solution. No solution, no credit. Closed notes
Use the method of virtual work to determine the horizontal displacement of joint C for the truss
shown below. The truss has an applied load of P=10kips. The bar forces due to the load are
FAB=-3.333kips (compression),FAC=4.714kips (tension), and FBC=-13.744kips (compression).
The member cross section area is A=0.4 square inches. The elastic modulus of the members is
E=29,000ksi.
a) Figure of structure showing the virtual load

b) Support reaction of due to the virtual load. There
are three. (15 points)
c) Member forces due to the virtual load
(15 points)
d)nNL(3 points)
e) Horizontal deflection of C (2 points)
Please show all work. I am confused with solving each member using method of sections
