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?

Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.
