    The plane truss shown in the figure below consists of three members connected to each other
    and to the walls by pin joints. The members make equal angles with each other, and Element

    , and length L = 1 m. An inclined force
    F = 20,000 N is applied at Node 1. Solve for the displacements at Node 1 and stresses in the
    three elements.
