Question: Question 1 : Figure presents a plane truss system. Elasticity modulus and the cross - sectional areas of the truss members are E = 2

Question 1: Figure presents a plane truss system. Elasticity modulus and the cross-sectional areas of the truss members are E=200GPa,A1=A4=0.01m2 and A2=A3=0.02m2, respectively. The forces acting at the node 3 and 4 are Py=900kN and Px=500kN, respectively. The nodal coordinates of the points 1,2,3 and 4 are (0,2m),(4m,0),(4m,2m),(0m,0m), respectively. Determine,
a) Displacement of the nodes in local and global coordinates,
b) Support reactions,
c) Stresses,
d) Axial forces of the members.
