K_2=200;

K_3=100;

P=500;

u_1=0;

u_4=u_1;

Part a: The global stiffness matrix

Number of nodes is 4 and number of elements is 3 Global stifffness matrix, [K] is given by: [K]=[K_1]+[K_2]+[K_3] where [K_1] the local stiffness matrix of element 1 [K_2] the local stiffness matrix of element 2 and [K_3] the local stiffness matrix of element 3

From equilibrium equation [K][d]=[F] where [d] is the displacement vector [F] the force vector

%We know that:

% d_m=[0; u_2; u_3; 0] since u_1=u_4=0

% F=[0; 0; 500; 0];

% eqns=K*d_m==F;

syms u_2 u_3

eqn1=K(2,2)*u_2+K(2,3)*u_3==500;

eqn2=K(3,2)*u_2+K(3,3)*u_3==0;

eqns=[eqn1,eqn2];

vars=[u_2 u_3];

[d2,d3]=solve(eqns,vars)%d2 is the displacement at node 2 and d3 is the displacement at node 3

d2 =

Part c: The reaction force at nodes 1 and 4

%Formula for reaction

% R=[K][d]-F

u_1=0; u_2=2; u_3=3;u_4=0;

d=[u_1; u_2; u_3; u_4]; %displacement vector

F=[0; 0; 500; 0]; %force vector

% u(x)=a_0+a_1*x+a_2*x^2

% we know that at x=0, u(x)=0, which gives

% a_0=0;

a_0=0;

%we also know that at x=60, u(x)=0, which gives
