Principle of superposition is applicable when
A. Deflections are linear functions of applied forces
B. Material obeys Hooke's law
C. The action of applied forces will be affected by small deformations of the structure
D. None of the above
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The principle of superposition is applicable when the deflections in a structure are linear functions of the applied forces.This principle holds when the relationship between force and displacement is directly proportional, meaning that the total displacement caused by multiple forces is the sum of the displacements due to each force acting individually.
For this to be valid, the material must behave elastically and within its linear range, which is often governed by Hooke's law.

The fixed support in a real beam becomes in the conjugate beam a
A. Roller support
B. Hinged support
C. Fixed support
D. Free end
A. The centre of gravity of the load system is midway between the centre of span and wheel load under consi-deration
B. The centre of span is midway between the centre of gravity of the load system and the wheel load under consideration
C. The wheel load under consideration is midway between the centre of span and the centre of gravity of the load system
D. None of the above

Option B is correct
Option A is wrong
because it is the displacement not the deformation which is linear function of applied forces.
Correct me if iam wrong
Both are correct a and b
Both a nd b are correct
As per my opinion , option a and b also correct
can you plz explain
