Question: Q . 3 . A truss shown in Fig. 3 is supported by pin support at A and roller supports at D and C .

Q.3. A truss shown in Fig. 3 is supported by pin support at A and roller supports at D and C. A downward load of 50kN is applied at joint E. The temperature of bars AB and BC is increased by 60F.
Consider the horizontal reaction at joint C(Cx) as redundant, determine the forces in all truss members, and show their exact nature (tensile or compressive) on the truss diagram using standard conventions.
Assume the coefficient of temperature expansion, =610-6F; Area A=1000mm2 for all members and E=200 GPa.
