For the pin-jointed truss shown in Figure Q1 with the following material 

For the pin-jointed truss shown in Figure Q1 with the following material properties: E = 205 GPa, A = 400 mm?, for all members. By using the matrix stiffness method: (i) Compute the global stiffness matrices for each element and assemble the structure stiffness matrix. (ii) Calculate the unknown displacements at joint (iii) Calculate the support reactions, check overall equilibrium, and obtain the axial forces in each of the truss members. 5 m 2. 6 m 3. 4 m 3 41 kN Figure Q1
