Problem 2: (a) Given the truss shown below, use virtual work to compute the vertical and horizontal components of displacement of joint E produced by the loads. The area of bars AB, BD, and CD is 5 in²; the area of all other bars is 3 in². E = 30,000 kips/in². B 120 kips 180 kips C D 20' 15' E 15' 15'. (b) Analyze the truss given in Problem 2(a), but neglect the 120-kip load and the 80-kip load for this part of problem. If bars AB and BD are fabricated 3/4 in too long and support D settles 0.25 in. (downward), use virtual work to compute the vertical displacement of joint E.
