Question: ( iv ) Assuming A 1 = 8 0 0 m m 2 , A 2 = 4 0 m m 2 , L 1

(iv) Assuming A1=800mm2,A2=40mm2,L1=1.2m,L2=0.7m,=30, and all
members have elastic modulus E=200GPa, plot the force-deformation response, i.e.,
a plot of P(on the y-axis) against DB(on the x-axis, ranging from 0 to 1.3m). You
will find it helpful to first create an array of possible values of , and then use the
expressions from Parts (i) and (iii) to relate them to OB and P respectively. Explain
the shape of the force-deformation curve you have obtained in terms of the physical
behaviour of the truss under large deformations.
