Home Work 5 Energy Methods Question 1: Determine the reaction at ‘C’ for member ABC in figure 1 and the deflection of point B in the direction of P.
[Deflection at B = 0.3503PR3/EI]
Question 2: For the structure shown in figure 2, what is the vertical deflection at end A?
[Deflection at A = (3/2 πr+4L) Pr2/EI]
Question 3: Determine the vertical displacement of the point of application of force P.
