Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement**:
Find the vertical deflection of point C in the truss shown in Figure P5.25. All members have the same cross-section and are made of the same material.
**Figure P5.25 Description**:
The diagram represents a truss structure consisting of five points labeled A, B, C, D, and E. The truss forms a triangle with the following details:
- Points A and B are horizontally aligned on the left-hand side of the diagram.
- Point C is the apex of the triangle, centrally positioned.
- Points D and E are aligned horizontally at the bottom of the diagram.
**Connections**:
- A horizontal beam connects points A and B.
- Beams AC and BC are diagonal, connecting points A and B to the top point C.
- Beams CD and CE are diagonal, extending from point C to the points D and E at the bottom.
**Supports and Forces**:
- Point A has a vertical support.
- Point B has a vertical arrow indicating a support mechanism.
- Points D and E have downward arrows labeled P, indicating external forces applied at these points.
**Dimensions**:
- All horizontal and diagonal members of the truss are labeled with length L.
