Question: Using the dummy load method, determine the total deflection at joint C ( i . e . , resultant of horizontal and vertical deflections )

Using the dummy load method, determine the
total deflection at joint C(i.e., resultant of
horizontal and vertical deflections) and its
deviation from the horizontal axis for the truss
system shown. The cross-sectional area of the
vertical and horizontal members is 180mm2,
and of the inclined members 200mm2. Assume
P=30kN,a=1600mm,b=2100mm and E
=200000MPa.
Using the dummy load method, determine the total
