Question
P8.15. (a) In Figure P8.15 compute the vertical and hori-
zontal components of displacement of joint E produced by
the loads. The area of bars AB, BD, and CD = 5 in.2; the
area of all other bars = 3 in.². E = 30,000 kips/in.2. (b) If
bars AB and BD are fabricated in. too long and support D
settles 0.25 in., compute the vertical displacement of joint
E. Neglect all the applied loads.
