Question: Problem 6 Consider the four member truss shown. The members of the truss have a common cross - sectional area, 1 0 c m 2

Problem 6
Consider the four member truss shown. The members of the truss have a common cross-sectional area, 10cm2, and are made of the same material with elastic modulus, E=110 GPa . This truss is subjected to the following loading
Fx2=500N,Fy2=500N
q3=1kNm
a) List the active degrees of freedom of the system
b) write the force to displacement relation for each element in the global coordinate
c) Assemble the global equilibrium equation for the active degrees of freedom, directly
d) Solve the resulting system of equations for the active degrees of freedom
e) Find the strain in each member (element).
