The axial load (in kN) in the member PQ for the arrangement/assembly

The axial load (in kN) in the member PQ for the arrangement/assembly shown in the figure given below is _________

By principle of super position

	160 × 2³	+	160 × 2²	× 2 -	V_Q L³	=	V_Q L
	2EI		2EI		3EI		AE

We neglect the annual definition

		V_Q L
		A E

∴	160 × 2³	+	160 × 2²	× 2 -	V_Q L³	= 0
	3EI		2EI		3EI

=	V_Q 4³	= 160 × 4 ×	5
	3		3

∴ V_Q = 50 KN
