16 marks questions 1. Derive the shape functions for two dimensional linear element. 2. For a three noded triangular element, the temperatures are 800C, 600C and 400C at the three nodes 1, 2, 3 respectively. The nodal coordinates in the global system are (x1, y1)=(2,3), (x2, y2)=(5,7) and (x3, y3)=(3,9). Find the temperature at the point P(4,6). 3. Derive the
