Question: 1. Compute the vertical displacement of point C for the beam in Figure P8.35. For the beam A = 5000 mm2 , I = 360 × 106 mm4, and E = 200 GPa. For the cable A = 6000 mm2 and E = 150 GPa.
2. Compute the vertical deflection of joint C in Figure P8.36. In member ABC consider only the strain energy associated with bending. Given: IAC = 340 in.4, ABD = 5 in.2. How much should bar BD be lengthened to eliminate the vertical deflection of point C when the 16-kip load acts?
