A uniform beam ($$EI=$$ constant) $$PQ$$ in the form of a quarter-circle of radius $$R$$ is fixed at end $$P$$ and free at the end $$Q,$$ where a load $$W$$ is applied as shown. The vertical downward displacement, $${\delta _q},$$ at the loaded point $$Q$$ is given by : $${\delta _q} = \beta \left( {{{W{R^3}} \over {EI}}} \right).$$

Find the value of $$\beta $$(correct to $$4-$$decimal places). _____________________

The members $$EJ$$ and $$IJ$$ of a steel truss shown in the figure below are subjected to a temperature rise of $${30^ \circ }C.$$ The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is $$0.000012$$ per $${^ \circ }C.$$ per unit length. The displacement ($$mm$$) of joint $$E$$ relative to joint $$H$$ along the direction $$HE$$ of truss, is

The right triangular truss is made of members having equal cross sectional area of $$1550$$ $$m{m^2}$$ and Young's Modulus of $$2 \times {10^5}\,\,MPa.$$

The horizontal deflection of the joint $$Q$$ is

A truss is shown in the figure. Members are to equal cross section $$A$$ and same modulus of elasticity $$E.$$ $$A$$ vertical force $$P$$ is applied at point $$C.$$

Force in the member $$AB$$ of the truss is
