Detailed Solution: Question 1
Consider the following statements.
1. Conjugate beam can be used to determine slopes and deflection in a non-prismatic beam.
2. Conjugate beam may be statically indeterminate.
3. Conjugate beam method gives absolute slope and deflection.
The correct answer is
Which of the foilowing statements are correct. Macaulay's method for calcuiation of slope and deflection in a beam is suitable for
