QUESTION:
The vertical load P is applied at the center A of the upper section of a homogeneous frustum of a circular cone of height h, minimum radius a, and maximum radius b. Denoting by E the modulus of elasticity of the material and neglecting the effect of its weight, determine the deflection of point A.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Extend the slant sides of the cone to meet at a point O and place the origin of the coordinate system there.Refer to figure below.
