Please Explain how to do number 6
In this project, we will develop code to analyze the structural behavior of a simple truss. As shown in Fig. 1, the truss has two supports (point A is a pin and point B is a roller). The geometry of the problem is described by the lengths (dx and dy), whereas the external loads have magnitudes P1 and P2 and their directions are given by the angles 1 and 2, respectively. All the members of the truss are numbered below. The parameters of the problem are P1,1,P2,2,dx, and dy.
Determine the external reactions at the supports as a function of these parameters [10p].
Identify the zero-force members in the truss for arbitrary values of these parameters [10p].
Express the equilibrium equations at all the points using the method of joints [20p].
Write a python function that takes the parameters of the problem as input and calculates the forces in members [20p].
Using the convention, tension (+) and compression (-), find the force in all members when
i.P1=0kN,1=45,P2=20kN,2=90,dx=4m, and dy=4m[10p],
ii.P1=20kN,1=45,P2=0kN,2=90,dx=4m, and dy=4m[10p],
iii. P1=20kN,1=45,P2=20kN,2=90,dx=4m, and dy=4m.
What observation can you make when you compare all the above results [10p]?
6. Assume P1=10kN,1=,P2=10kN,2=,dx=5m, and dy=4m. Plot the force in member (2) and reaction forces at points A and D as a function of [10p].
