Consider a two-story building. One column is subjected to the loading shown in the figure. Assume axial loading, determine (1) vertical displacements of the column at various floor-column connection points and (2) the stresses in each portion of the column. (3) the reactive force at the bottom location (node 1). \( E=30 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2} \), \( \mathrm{A}=40.0 \mathrm{in}^{2} . \quad[1 \mathrm{ft}=12 \mathrm{in}] \)
