Question 2

The frame shown in Figure 1 has a uniformly distributed load of P= 9.5 kN/m.

a) Calculate the horizontal reaction force F_AX in kN at joint A.

Use '-' if the reaction force is not in accordance with the sign convention in Figure 1, otherwise no sign is needed. Do NOT include any units.

Give the answer to 1 decimal place.

The frame shown in Figure 1 has a uniformly distributed load of P= 9.5 kN/m.

e) Calculate the value of the bending moment M2 of Figure 2 in kNm, where M2 represents the bending moment in the vertical member at joint B.

Note which side of the member the moment occurs on by making the value negative if;

It occurs on the left side of a vertical member

It occurs on the top side of a horizontal member.

Give the answer to 1 decimal place.

e) What is the deflection shape of the frame in Figure 1?
