SOLVE
Final Answers should. be: P3: Loads only: vC =2.37 in; Loads + Temp Changes: vC =2.42 in
P3. The wood roof truss shown below is subjected to uplift forces as shown. Use \( E=1200\) ksi. Assume members AB, BC, CD, DE, AG, GF, and FE have a crosssectional area of 32 in2, and the remaining members have a cross-sectional area of 11.25 in2.
(A)Find the max vertical deflection (Joint C) in the truss under the applied loads as shown.
(B)Find the max vertical deflection (Joint C) in the truss under the applied loads as shown if the exterior members (AB, BC, CD, and DE) are exposed to the direct sun and experience a temperature change of \(45^{\circ} F \). Use a coefficient of thermal expansion of \(2.0\mathrm{E}-\mathbf{6}^{\circ}\mathrm{F}^{-1}\).
