At the reference temperature three identical rods of length


At the reference temperature, three identical rods of length L form a pin jointed truss in the shape of an equilateral triangle, ABC. Determine the angle theta as a function of delta T, the temperature increase of the rod AB. Rods AC and BC remain at a reference temperature. The properties of the rods are: area = A, modulus of elasticity = E, and the coefficient of thermal expansion, C.
