Using Castigliano's Second Theorem. For the truss shown in the figure, Members AB, BC, CD, & AD have a cross-sectional area of 3 in2. Member BD have has a cross-sectional area of 4 in2. Modulus Elasticity for all members is 29 million pounds per square inch. If the value of P1 is 40 kips and P2 is 20 kips, determine the vertical deflection at B (in) and horizontal deflection at D (in). Put a negative sign if the reaction is downward or left direction.
