The truss shown in Figure 1 is constructed such that members AB and BC are of equal length. Additionally, joint A and joint C are pin supported, and an external load of magnitude 12kN is applied vertically at joint B.Each truss member has a cross-sectional area of 200 mm² and an elastic modulus of 200 GPa. Draw an equivalent problem by replacing the pin support at joint C with a roller support and introducing a pronumeral force.Using Castigliano’s second theorem, determine the magnitude of horizontal support reaction at joint C. AC = 4m and BC =3m
