Consider the simple triangular cantilever truss in Exercise 2.16, and choose a = 1, EA = 1 and P = 1.
a) Create a data file Canti Truss.m to be used in MiniTruss.
b) Determine the vertical displacement of nodes D and E and compare with Exercise 2.16.
c) Determine the horizontal displacement of nodes D and E and compare the magnitude with the vertical displacements found in .
d) Determine the reactions and bar forces and compare with the results obtained in Exercise 2.16.
Exercise 2.16
The figure shows a simple cantilever truss, loaded by a concentrated force P at the joint E.
a) Find and show the reaction components in a figure.
b) Determine all the bar forces.
c) Find the vertical and horizontal displacement of the nodes E and D
