Question: Repeat Prob. 486 for the vertical deflection at point A. Prob. 486, The figure shows a rectangular member OB, made from -in-thick aluminum plate,

Repeat Prob. 4–86 for the vertical deflection at point A.

Prob. 4–86, The figure shows a rectangular member OB, made from ¼ -in-thick aluminum plate, pinned to the ground at one end, and supported by a ½ -in-diameter round steel rod that is formed into an arc and pinned to the ground at C. A load of 100 lbf is applied at B. Use Castigliano’s theorem to determine the vertical deflection at point B.


Repeat Prob. 4–86 for the vertical deflection at point A.
