Before looking at the solution, always attempt to solve a problem on your own. The solutions manual is most valuable when used to check your final answer or to understand where you went wrong in your own derivation. by Tirupathi R

FEA is numerical. Unlike a calculus problem where the answer is a neat variable, FEA answers are long decimals (e.g., $u_2 = -0.0432 \text mm$). If you make a small arithmetic error in assembling your $[K]$ matrix, your answer will be wrong, but it won't "look" wrong. The solutions manual allows you to verify your specific numerical steps.
