**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.
