 1D Bar Element - Problem

Consider a taper steel plate of uniform thickness, t = 25 mm. The young’s modulus
of the plate, E = 2 x 10^5 N/mm2 and weight density of 0.82 x 10^-4 N/mm3. In
addition to the self weight, the plate is subjected to a point load p = 100 N at it’s
mid point. Calculate the following by modeling the plate into two finite elements.
(i) Global Force Vector, (ii) Global Stiffness Matrix, (iii) Stress in each elements, (iv)
Displacement in each elements, (v) Reaction Forces at the support
