Use the finite element method to solve the plane truss shown in problem 29. Assume \(A E=\) \(2 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~N}, L=1 \mathrm{~m}, \alpha=10 \times 10^{-6} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The temperature of element 1 is \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) below the reference temperature, while elements 2 and 3 are at the reference temperature. Determine the nodal displacements, forces in each element, and the support reactions. Show that the nodal equilibrium is satisfied at node 4.
