Consider the structural system shown in the figure under the action of weight $$W.$$ All the joints are hinged. The properties of the members in terms of length $$(L),$$ area $$(A)$$ and the modulus of elasticity $$(E)$$ are also given in the figure. Let $$L,A$$ and $$E$$ be $$1$$ $$m,$$ $$0.05$$ $${m^2}$$ and $$30 \times {10^6}\,\,N/{m^2},\,\,$$ respectively, and $$W$$ be $$100$$ $$kN.$$
Which one of the following sets gives the correct values of the force, stress and change in length of the horizontal member $$QR$$?

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). _____________________
