Question

If the hinged end of a propped cantilever of span L settles by an amount $\delta ,$ then the rotation of the hinged end will be

• A. $\frac{\delta }{L}$
• B. $\frac{2\delta }{L}$
• C. $\frac{3\delta }{2L}$
• D. $\frac{4\delta }{3L}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{3\delta }{2L}$



Uisng moment area method, we get

$\theta =\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3\delta }{L^2}\times L=\frac{3\delta }{2l}$
