Question: For the truss shown, the vertical support reaction at node 3 is elastic with a stiffness k s = 2 7 0 kip s i

For the truss shown, the vertical support reaction
at node 3 is elastic with a stiffness ks=270kipsin.
Both members have E=14,000ksi, and A=7in2.
Determine the member global stiffness matrices,
[K](i) and the complee structure stiffness matrix,
[S]. Node (circles), member (rectangles), and DOF
(purple diamonds) numbers are shown, as well as
DOF directions (purple arrows), member local x-
axis directions (blue arrowheads), and global
coordinate system (green).
For the truss shown, the vertical support
