Calculate the horizontal displacement of joint E of the frame in figure, knowing that I = 400 in4 . Note that the columns have moment of inertia I and the beam has moment of inertia 2I. All members have crosssectional area A. Qualitatively, how would the answer change if you took into account the effect of axial loads(i.e., would the deflection increase, decrease, stay the same? And why?)
