Q3 (20 POINTS)
For the plane truss shown in Figure, a) Determine the nodal displacements, b) Element forces and stresses, and the support reactions. All elements have E = 70 GPa, and A = 3.0 x 10^-4 m^2.
Use symmetry in your model. Verify force equilibrium at nodes 2 and 4. (Hint: Using Statics Concept to sum all the x and y components)
