### Question 5: Structural Analysis Problem

#### Diagram Description:
The diagram provided is a structural element with specific measurements. It resembles an L-shaped structure with the following dimensions:
- The vertical section of the L-shape from point A extends horizontally to the right for 10 feet.
- From the end of this 10-foot segment, there is a vertical downward segment that measures 8 feet.
- From the bottom of this vertical segment, the structure extends horizontally to the right for another 10 feet.
- Finally, a vertical segment at the end measures 6 feet upwards.

The start point of the structure is labeled as point A.

#### Problem Statement:
Find the change in temperature (\(\Delta T\)) using the m + n method 16 feet below grade at point A. Assume the total load is 560K.

### Detailed Transcription:
---

**Answer the following:**

![Structural Diagram]

- **Point A:** Starting reference point for measurements.
- **Dimensions:**
  - Horizontal segment from point A: 10 feet
  - Vertical drop from first horizontal segment: 8 feet
  - Horizontal segment from bottom of vertical drop: 10 feet
  - Vertical rise from end of second horizontal segment: 6 feet

**Find the \(\Delta T\) using the m + n method 16 feet below grade at point A. Assume the total load is 560K.**

---

This problem requires the application of structural analysis to determine the change in temperature effect at a specific point in the structure. Use the m + n method, commonly used in structural engineering, to derive the solution. Also, consider the total distributed load of 560K (560,000 pounds).
