Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement**
**Objective:** Compute the horizontal and vertical displacement at point C using the following methods:
a) Differential equation (include moment diagram)
b) Conjugate beam method
c) Unit load method
**Diagram Description:**
- **Free Body Diagram (FBD):** The FBD shows an L-shaped structure.
- Vertical segment \( AD \) has a height \( h \).
- Horizontal segment \( DC \) has a length \( a \).
- A force \( F \) is applied downward at point C.
The structure is fixed at point A.
**Equations:**
1. Moment equation around point A:
\(\Sigma M_A = 0 = -M_A + Fa\)
2. Vertical force equilibrium:
\(\Sigma F_y = 0\)
**Notes:**
- When applying these methods, ensure to include relevant diagrams, especially the moment diagram for the differential equation approach.
- Carefully analyze forces and reactions in each method to determine displacements accurately.
