P = 1, a = 0.5
Q1 (a) Figure Q1 shows a statically determinate plane truss subjected to a vertical concentrated load at C and E. The truss is made using steel with Modulus of Elasticity is 210 GPa, and the cross section area for all members are 30 mm². Assuming P is the month of your birthday and a is half of P, determine the vertical displacement at F. The solution can be based on Method of Conservation Energy or Method of Virtual Work. (21 marks) (b) If support A is a pinned, what will happen to the truss structure? (4 marks)
