Question

Transcribed Image Text:The beam in the figure has constant \( E \) and \( I \) as shown for each of the two segments \( AB \) and \( BC \). Find the ratio of the displacement over the rotation (i.e., \( \frac{u_y}{\theta} \) ) at a distance 2.5 to the right of point \( A \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
- **Beam Structure**: The diagram shows a horizontal beam fixed at point \( A \) and extending through points \( B \) and \( C \).
- **Segment Lengths**:
- Segment \( AB \) is 6 meters in length, denoted as \( 2I \).
- Segment \( BC \) is 3 meters in length, denoted as \( I \).
- **Forces and Moments**:
- A 120 kN force is applied downward at point \( B \).
- A 300 kN·m clockwise moment is applied at point \( C \).
The task is to calculate the specified ratio related to displacement and rotation at a particular point along the beam.
