𝑃𝐿
1. The relative displacement (δ) of one end of a bar or beam is expressed as 𝛿 = 𝐴𝐸 . Define each of the
variables and explain how this equation is derived.

2. Circle one: True/False. The principle of superposition is used to simplify stress and displacement
problems having complicated loadings.

3. The rigid beam supports the load of 60 kN. Determine the displacement of B. Take E = 60 GPa,
and ABC = 2 (10-3) m2.
