Consider the following showing the three-bar assembly. Nodes 1 and 4 are fixed. At node 2, a horizontal force of 50 kN is exerted. The modulus of elasticity of elements 1 and 2 is 200 GPa and that of element 3 is 110 GPa. Similarly, the area of cross section of elements 1 and 2 is 0.001 m? and that of element 3 is 0.002 m². Determine the reactions at nodes 1 and 4.

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the following showing the three-bar assembly. Nodes 1 and 4 are fixed.
At node 2, a horizontal force of 50 kN is exerted. The modulus of elasticity of elements 1
and 2 is 200 GPa and that of element 3 is 110 GPa. Similarly, the area of cross section of
elements 1 and 2 is 0.001 m2 and that of element 3 is 0.002 m2.
Determine the reactions at nodes 1 and 4.
