Question: Prob. 3 . 1 0 - 1 6 . Each of the three truss members in Fig. P 3 . 1 0 - 1 6

Prob. 3.10-16. Each of the three truss members in
Fig. P3.10-16 has a length L and modulus of elasticity E.
The cross-sectional areas of the members are A1=A2=A
and A3=2A.(a) Determine expressions for the horizon-
tal and vertical displacements, uA and vA, at joint A when
a horizontal load P is applied to the right to the pin at
joint A.(b) Determine expressions for the axial forces-
F1,F2, and F3-in the three truss members when load P
is applied.
P3.10-16, P3.10-17, P3.10-18, and P11.5-40
