Question: The curved steel bar shown has a rectangular cross section with a radial height h = 8 m m and a thickness b = 3

The curved steel bar shown has a rectangular cross section with a radial height h=8mm and a thickness b=3 mm . The radius of the centroidal axis is R=40mm. A force P=15N is applied as shown here. Find the vertical deflection at A. Use Castigliano's method for a curved flexural member. Since Rh10, do not neglect any of the terms.
The vertical deflection at A is mm.
