Q4.[0.6\%]
A 180 kN load is applied to a steel truss as shown. The cross-sectional area and the length of each of the members is shown. Determine the following:
(a) The strain energy \( U \) on each of the members U_BC, U_CD and U_BD.
(b) The total strain energy on the entire truss in Joules. (Note: 1 Joule \(=1\mathrm{Nm}\))
(c) The total deflection on the entire truss in millimeters. \(\mathrm{E}=200\mathrm{GPa}\).
