Structure 1 with Member BC of Length L/2L / 2 /2 Has Force

Question 91

Short Answer

Structure 1 with member BC of length L/2L / 2 /2 has force P1P_{1} applied at joint C. Structure 2 with member BC of length L has force P2P_{2} applied at C.
Both structures have constant flexural rigidity EI. The required ratio of
The applied forces P1/P2P_{1} / P_{2} so that joint B rotations θB1 and θB2\theta_{B 1} \text { and } \theta_{B 2} are equal is
Approximately: (A) 1
(B) 5/4 5 / 4
(C) 3/2 3 / 2
(D) 2
