Question:

The structure in Figure P14.1 is composed of three pin-connected bars. The bar areas are shown in the figure. Given: \(E=30,000 \mathrm{kips} / \mathrm{in}^{2}\).

(a) Compute the stiffness coefficient \(K\) associated with a 1-in. vertical displacement of joint \(A\).

(b) Determine the vertical displacement at \(A\) produced by a vertical load of 24 kips directed downward.

(c) Determine the axial forces in all bars.
