We want to construct the truss structure shown in Fig. 2. The structure has been designed to carry a vertical downward force of 5 kip applied at joint 3. Figure 2 4 ft 6 ft E = 29000 ksi (for all members) A = 10in? (for all members) %3D 10 ft 3 5 kip Figure 2 a) Calculate the vertical displacement of joint 3 b) b) The construction of the truss has already begun, and the members 1-3 and 2-3 have already been fabricated in the shop and shipped at the construction site. You are relaxing at home, when suddenly you get a call (at 11pm) from the owner of the structure and are informed that they want the vertical displacement of joint 3 to be zero. Given the fact that the remaining member, 1-2, is going to be fabricated the next morning, can you imagine a way to satisfy the owner without having to design and fabricate a different truss structure from scratch?
