Question: Ex - 1 A loaded two - member steel structure with two element, one inclined downward at 3 0 degrees and the other downward at

Ex-1 A loaded two-member steel structure with two element, one inclined downward at 30 degrees and the other downward at 60 degrees to the horizontal with load P suspended at their connection at 1m below from horizontal base. The yield stress of steel is 400 MPa and the
Young's Modulus is 210 GPa . By using the unit dummy displacement method,
(a) Find the displacements at the point of application of load P
(b) Find the member strains and forces in terms of P.
(c) Determine the maximum possible value of P.
