Question: 1. The pin-connected frame in Figure P8.3 is subjected to two vertical loads. Compute the vertical displacement of joint B. Will the frame sway horizontally? If yes, compute the horizontal displacement of joint B. The area of all bars = 5 in.2, and E = 29,000 kips/in.2.
2. For the pin-connected frame in Figure P8.5, in addition to the vertical loads a lateral load of 30 kips also acts to the right at joint B. Compute the vertical and horizontal displacements at joint B.
