Question

A truss is made up of elements (1), (2) and (3), as shown in Figure 3.3 below, with each element having the same elastic modulus E. yield strength sigma_Y and cross-sectional area A. A vertical force P acts downwardly on joint C. What is the largest load P that can be applied for a factor of safety of FS = 2 for the structure? What are the horizontal and vertical components of displacement of joint C in the truss? Leave your answers in symbolic form in terms of variables defined here in the problem statement.

Explanation / Answer

The answer of the following questions are as follows

a) The largest load P that can be applied for a factor of safety =2 for the structure is 186 N.
