Matrix Analysis of a Beam (Spreadsheet – Excel)

Determine the following for the beam shown in the figure by using the matrix stiffness method:
(a) Member end displacements (U) in local coordinates;
(b) Member end forces (Q) in local coordinates and;
(c) Support Reactions
See the attached template and the attached notes on matrix analysis of structures for guide.
