The angle this member makes to the global axis system and the relevant values are:
Therefore:
Thus:

The angle this member makes to the global axis system and the relevant values are:
Therefore:
Thus:
Since both DOFs are restricted for nodes 1 and 3, we can thus write the remaining
equations for node 2:
STEP 5: Solve the system
Thus:
