\frac{4FL^3}{3EI} | |
\frac{2FL^3}{3EI} | |

Question 2 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} U&=U_{P Q}+U_{Q P} \\ U&=\frac{M^{2} L}{2 E I}+\int_{0}^{L} \frac{\left(M_{x-x}\right)^{2}(d x)}{2 E I} \\ U&=\frac{(F L)^{2} L}{2 E I}+\int_{0}^{L}\left(\frac{(F x)^{2}(d x)}{2 E I}\right) \\ U&=\frac{F^{2} L^{3}}{2 E I}+\frac{F^{2} L^{3}}{6 E I}=\frac{2 F^{2} L^{3}}{3 E I} \end{aligned}
By Castigliano's theorem:
\left(\delta_{H}\right)_{R}=\frac{\partial U}{\partial F}=\frac{4 F L^{3}}{3 E I}

Contraction of conical bar at mid height ( i.e. x=\frac{H}{2} )
\begin{aligned} &=\int_{H / 2}^{H}(\delta l)_{\operatorname{stn} p} \\ &=\frac{W}{3 E} \int_{H / 2}^{H} x d x \\ &=\frac{w}{6 E}\left[H^{2}-\frac{H^{2}}{4}\right]=\frac{w H^{2}}{8 E} \end{aligned}
