Consider a thin plate shown in Figure 1, which is loaded at its tip: a) Using 2 triangular elements, determine the deflection and stress on the plate. b) Comment on the plate stress, if a single element is used instead of 2 elements. Figure 1 \[ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{X}}=10(N) \\ \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{Y}}=2 \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{x}}(N) \\ \mathrm{h}=5(\mathrm{~mm}) \end{array} \]
