Answer:
Draw the virtual load and show its magnitude on the figure in the answer sheet to calculate the maximum deflection, Amax, using Castigliano's Second Theorem. (b)
Explanation:
Determine the moment equations of the segment AB, MAB(x), and BC, MBC (X), to calculate Amax using Castigliano's Second Theorem (including P terms, use the given x-coordinate, in m and kN unit). (C) Determine the maximum deflection, Amax, using Castigliano's Second Theorem (clearly show the integration equation in your calculation process).
