GIVEN:
a. 42.0
b. 4.0
c. 9.0
QUESTIONS:
1. Horizontal displacement of joint G due to the applied loads in mm
2. Horizontal displacement of joint G considering that the top chord members experience 60 oC increase in temperature in mm. Use α = 10-6/ oC
PLEASE SHOW YOUR FULL SOLUTIONS AND DRAWINGS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! ❤️

- The steel truss shown carries a downward vertical load of 14 kN at joint B. The diagonal members of the truss have an area equivalent to 250 mm^2, and the horizontal members are 300 mm^2. With the given conditions calculate the: a) Horizontal Deflection at E in mm b) Vertical Deflection at D in mm Esteel = 200 GPaarrow_forwardNOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. A roof truss is shown. Take the load P = 1.7 kN. Determine the force in each member of the roof truss shown. State whether each member is in tension (T) or compression (C). Note: please double check answers.
