Question: DO NOT USE FEA! DO HAND / MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION Each bar is made of steel and has a cross - sectional area of 6 0

DO NOT USE FEA! DO HAND/MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION
Each bar is made of steel and has a cross-sectional area of 600mm2
Take E=200GPa.
- Do hand/mathematical calculation to solve for:
a) The horizontal and vertical displacements at A
b) The horizontal and vertical displacements at B
c) The vertical displacement at B
d) The horizontal and vertical displacements at D
e) The vertical displacement at D
f) Reactions at A and C
g) Axial force in each member
This truss is statically determinate. It is straightforward to analyze it, and find the forces in the members and the reaction forces. Please do hand calculations and find these forces and compare them with the results from the software.
