To determine

Vertical displacement of Joint A

Answer to Problem 8.1P

   ΔA=2.946×104 in

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The members are pin connected at end points.

A = 3 in2

E = 29(103) ksi

Virtual Work Method

Virtual external work done = Sum of the internal work done

   P×Δ=i n i N i L i EAwhere i = force membersn = force in members due to virtual unit loadN = force in members due to original loadL= length of the force members

Calculation:

The virtual and real member forces are calculated by method of joints.
