Question: Virtual Work: Trusses ( 2 0 Pts ) Use the method of virtual work and determine the vertical displacement of joint B for the truss

Virtual Work: Trusses (20 Pts)
Use the method of virtual work and determine the vertical displacement of joint B for the truss below. Member AB experiences a temperature change of T=10C and member BC is fabricated 1cm short. For all members, cross section is 10cm2,E=21011Pa, and =10-5C. Use the analyzed truss under a unit load (second figure) and tables below for your calculations. Finding member forces under the real loads is 25% of the grade. Note: 1Pa=10-3kNm2 and 1cm2=10-4m2
For loads:
