An L$-$shaped rod is fixed at $C$ and subjected to a force $P=40kN$ directed along $-z$ axis, as shown. The

rod has a solid circular section with a diameter of $150$ mm $.$ Use a suitable energy method to compute the

downward deflection of point $B.$ Take $E=200$GPa,$v=0\mathrm{.}3.$ Determine the contribution of shear and axial

forces as a percentage of the total deflection. $[40$ marks$]$
