Problem $2$:

$(35$ points$)$

The wood block shown is fastened at

$AD$ to the side of a column,

it is subject to a uniformly distributed

load of $q$ in $x-$axis and point load $P$ in $y-$axis.

$E=1\mathrm{.}6**{10}^3$ksi

$G=0\mathrm{.}2**{10}^3$ksi

$=0\mathrm{.}2$

Left picture is the view from it's side and right

picture is the view from it's front.

i$)$ Find the horizantal elongation of the block.

ii$)$ Find the downward displacement of $B{B}^{**}C{C}^{**}$

Hint: $P$ is exactly at the middle of $B{B}^{**}C{C}^{**}$

Example is similar to one in previous lectures.
