4.a) Derive strain displacement relation matrix for triangular element?

b) Calculate the equivalent point loads at the nodes as shown in the figure 3. The
load is varying from 100 Mpa to 300 Mpa from the node (30,70) to the node (10,
50) via node (20, 60). Take the thickness of the plate as 10 mm.
