Part 2(remaining 60 points with points listed in each question)
Consider the 2D truss shown in the Figure below, with three fixed supports in the ground. The truss members are made of PVC with Young's modulus of 3.5GPa and have cross-sectional area of 10cm2(equal to 0.001m2). Forces of 2 kN and 1 kN are applied as shown.
(a)(3 pts) Label the nodes and the elements in the figure with appropriate node and element numbers. Do not forget to include the coordinate system (x and y directions) that you will be using.
(b)(3 pts) Write the nodes that define each element (be mindful that node ordering you pick is important for next questions)
