Question: Consider the problem of a 2 - D truss as shown in the figure above. The truss is pinned at one end and a roller

Consider the problem of a 2-D truss as shown in the figure above. The truss is pinned at one end and a roller support is applied at the other end. Note that the roller support
prevents motion in the x direction. A vertical concentrated force P is applied at the right end of the truss.
Model the problem with one 2-node (planar) truss element. The nodeal coordinates are given as
x1,Y1=(0,0)
x2,Y2=(1,2)
(a) Determine the vertical displacement of node 2. Take E=200GPa,P=1000N and A=10mm^(2).
(b) Determine the axial stress \sigma in the element.
