For the pin-jointed truss shown in Figure Q2, where the areas of each member are A = 20e3 mm, A2 = 15e3 mm and A3 = 18e3 mm. (i) Compute the element global stiffness matrix for each element. (ii) Calculate the displacement of joints 1 and 2. (iii) Calculate the reactions, check overall equilibrium, and obtain the member forces in each of the truss members.
