Transcribed Image Text:Consider the steel truss shown in (Figure 1) to answer Parts A, B, and C below, where P = 36 kN and P2 = 46 kN . The cross-
sectional area of each member is A = 400 mm? , and E = 300 GPa .
Part A - Horizontal displacement
Use the method of virtual work to determine the horizontal displacement of joint D due to the applied loads. Let a positive
answer represent a displacement to the right and a negative answer represent a displacement to the left.
Express your answer in the appropriate units to three significant figures.
