| For the 
72-bar truss shown below, determine the displacements and elemental stresses. 
 Nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are pin connections. Let  E = 107 
psi 
and the A = 1.0 in2 for the first two stories and A = 
0.5 in2 for the top two stories. Table 3 lists the values and 
directions of the two loads cases applied to the 72-bar space truss.

the 72-Bar Truss
