(a) Find the horizontal deflection at joint B produced by the 40-kip load in Figure P8.14. The area of all bars is shown on the sketch of the truss; E = 30.000 kips/in. 2. (b) To restore joint B to its initial position in the horizontal direction, how much must bar AB be shortened? (c) If the temperature of bars AB and BC increases 80°F, determine the vertical displacement of joint C. αt = 6.5 × 10−6 (in. /in. )/°F. The rocker at support A is equivalent to a roller.
