Question: Short answer ( 2 0 points ) As shown in the left figure, a force of size P in the x - direction is applied

Short answer (20 points)
As shown in the left figure, a force of size P in the x-direction is applied to node 2 of a rod in which both ends are fixed, consisting of three elements and four nodes. The crosssectional area of elements 1 and 2 is A, and element 3 is 2A. Young's modulus of the aluminum is E, and Young's modulus of copper is E2.
(1) Find the stiffness matrix of each element and the entire system for finite element analysis, and express the behavior of the entire system in the form of {F}=[K]{u} determinant. (10 points)
(2) Considering the boundary condition, represent the displacements at nodes 2 and 3 as A, E, L, and P.(10 points)
Ref) Displacement by simple tensile force P = PL/AE (L: Length, A: Cross-sectional area, E: Young's modulus)
