The three-bar truss ABC shown in the figure part a has a span L = 3 m and is constructed of steel pipes having a cross-sectional area A = 3900 mm2and modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa. Identical loads P act both vertically and horizontally at joint C, as shown.
(a) If P = 475 kN, what is the horizontal displacement of joint B?
(b) What is the maximum permissible load value Pmaxif the displacement of joint B is limited to 1.5 mm?
(c) Repeat parts (a) and (b) if the plane truss is replaced by a space truss (see figure part b).
