Hi there,
The first thing I wanted to say (as I said the last time I created a new thread) is that this is NOT A HOMEWORK QUESTION!
From the rules laid out, it says that homework for undergraduates and college students should go in the homework section. I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and have been working as an professional engineer for 12 years. However, I have recently been offered a new job and I am just brushing up on the work I did at university.
I have attached 2 files. One (2.45.doc) is a scanned copy of a question from the book that I am currently going through and the other is my attempt at the solution to the problem. The book is 'Mechanics Of Materials' by F.Beer. I have obviously removed any unnecessary information from the scanned page of the book as I do not want to infringe on any copyright issues. Please also be aware that I would not normally do this and have resorted to this because I have nobody else to ask and the solution to this particular question is not in the back of the book.
The second attachment (2.45 sol.pdf) is my attempt at the solution.

Moving on... I'd be very grateful if somebody could have a look at this question and verify if my answer is correct or not. The question is concerning deflections / deformations in members that form part of a structure. As I have said, I have tried to answer the question but I would really like someone to verify this for me - afterall, there's no point in continuing to calculate the answers to other similar questions if the method is incorrect.
Again, please forgive me if this question is not meant to be in this section. I genuinely thought that this would be ok to do. If not then please let me know and I will move it to the homework section.
Thanks in advance to anyone / everyone who can help me on this.
Kind Regards,
Justin
