A symmetrical truss shown below is subjected to a 300 kN vertical force a point B. The elastic modulus for all members of the truss is 200 GPa. The cross- sectional areas of members BC, BD and CD are 2000 mm², 2200 mm² and 2100 mm?, respectively. Determine the deformations of members BC, BD and CD. Also, calculate the vertical displacements of joints B and D.
