1) Please comment upon the design of the two trusses, by determining

which design gives the least stress and displacement. Load in
Newtons. Consider E=210 GPa, A=0.25 m2 =7800 kg/m3 and the truss is
also subjected to self weight.

2) The figure shows a 2D section of a composite wall subject to a steady-state heat

transfer condition. (All dimensions are in meters). There are 4 materials in this
construction. Assume unit depth (1 cm.) for the model. Top and bottom sides
have a temperature of 650 C and 600 C respectively. Bottom portion building
brick is insulated. Top Portion is subjected to a convection of h=30w/m 2k and
Ta=20 C

3) Determine the maximum displacement in the structure.
