A truss, composed of two members, is subjected to a horizontal force p=2,590 lb at node 1 (as shown below). Suppose that the cross-sectional area and Young's modulus of both elements are A=1.6 in² and E=32x106 psi, respectively. Determine the horizontal displacement of node 1 (in inch). (Hint: round your final answer with 5 digits after decimal point; e.g. if the answer is 1.2345678, then you have to wrote the answer as 1.23457) 50 in (1) 20 in P (2) 20 in
