Question: Problem 2 A plane truss structure consists of two bars subjected to a load F as shown in the figure. Assume E = 1 0

Problem 2 A plane truss structure consists of two bars subjected to a load F as shown in the figure. Assume E=10106 psi, h=50in.,=60,=36.87. Both bar 1 bar 2 have the square cross section shape and their side dimensions are 0.5 in . and 0.6 in . respectively. The applied load F=100lb. Use finite element method to solve the problem.
a) Express the reduced FE system equation {F}=[K]{d} in numerical form ({d} is unknown).
b) Solved for the displacements {d} at node 3.c) Find the internal forces {f} of the two elements. Note: the direction for the two bars is: 13,23.
