Question: 1. For the truss in Figure, compute the horizontal and vertical components of displacement of joint B produced by the 100-kip load. The area of all bars = 4 in.2, and E = 24,000 kips/in.2.
2. For the truss in Figure P8.1, compute the vertical displacement of joint A and the horizontal displacement of joint C. Assume all member properties are the same except the areas of AE, ED, BD, and BC are 8 in.2.
