Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
(5) Determine the slope at A and the vertical displacement at B. Use the method of virtual work. EI is constant. A is a pin and B is a roller.
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram shows a structural element with two supports:
- **Support A**: This is a pin support located at the base of the structure.
- **Support B**: This is a roller support located 4 meters above the horizontal axis at an inclined position.
The structure is subject to an external horizontal force of 60 kN acting at the junction perpendicular to its vertical segment.
### Dimensions
- The horizontal distance from the leftmost point to point A is 3 meters.
- The vertical length of the member from point A to the exerted force is 4 meters.
- The inclined member from the point where the external force is applied to point B is also 4 meters long.
The task is to find the slope at point A and the vertical displacement at point B using the concept of virtual work, with the flexural rigidity (EI) considered constant across the structure.
