Determine the displacements and stresses using a one and

Question

For the bar shown in Figure subjected to the linear varying axial load, determine the displacements and stresses using (a) one and then two finite element models and (b) the collocation, subdomain, least squares, and Galerkin's methods assuming a cubic polynomial of the form u(x) = c₁x + c₂x² + c₃x³.
