2.
The 2- dimensional truss shown in FIGURE Q2 is made of material that has
a modules of elasticity E = 150×10° N/m?. The cross sectional area of each
member is 0.01 m². Forces P1 and P2 are acting as shown,

FIGURE Q2
a.
You are required to design TWO (2) different system's fixing type of
nodes 2, 3, and 4 to the wall. Then recommend the best option that
provides the lowest displacement at node 1 by perfoming complete
calculations to justify your recommendation.
b.
After the client approved your recommendation in (a), it was found that
the displacements occurred at node 1 is still high. As a result, you are
required to modify the truss design in order to reduce the displacement
at node 1 by minimum 15% on a condition that modules of elasticity,
and the force remain unchanged. Justify your recommendation.
