Question 1c
From the options provided below, select the option representing the best options for a correct deflected shape, with all the necessary labels such as Tension (t) and Point of Inflection (POI) for the frame shown in Figure 1c. The directions for the support reactions (indicated by red arrows) are shown in Figure 1c, and the resulting Bending Moment Diagram (red lines) are shown in Figure 1d. Both figures present are to help you sketch the deflected shape without calculations. Assume that the P is 40 kN, w is 20 kN/m, M is 20 kNm, and L is 8m long
