ASSIGNMENT # 2
1.

Use the moment area method to compute the quantities as indicated in the diagrams
of Fig. 1. Take constant EI for all members unless otherwise noted. [Ans. a) C =
1781/EI (down); b) max = 0.032M L2 /EI (down); c) A = 225/2EI (anticlockwise), (D )v = 243/EI (down); d) 243/2EI ]

2.

Use the conjugate beam method to compute the quantities as indicated in the diagrams
of Fig. 2. Take constant EI for all members unless otherwise noted. [Ans. a) max =
10300/6EI (down); c) 18.75/EI (down); d) B = 2.7 mm (down)]
