Q2. The horizontal bracket a shown in the figure is fixed at support a and free at end d. It has a circularcross section with flexural rigidity EI and torsional rigidity GJ. Let l1 denote the lengths of members ab and cd, and let l2 denote the length of member bc. Ignore deformations due to shear and use the unit load method to determine the vertical deflection and the angle of twist (rotation in its plane) of the cross-section at d. Note that torsion may not be ignored. Take P=1kN,l1=1.5m,l2=1.2m,I=3.0106mm4,E=70GPa,G=26 GPa (ans: 76.8mm,0.0150rad ).
Q 2 . The horizontal bracket a shown in the
