notations) is defined as:
A:-Force developed at joint *i* due to unit displacement at joint *j* while all other joints are fixed
-Force developed at joint ‘i+ due to unit displacement at joint *j* while all other joints are released
C:-Displacement occurred at joint ‘i’ due to unit force at joint *j* while all other joints are fixed
D:-Displacement occurred at joint ‘i’ due to unit force at joint *j° while all other joints are released
Correct Answer:- Option-A
Question28:-An undamped single degree of freedom system is represented by the equation: ‘m({d*2 x} /{dt*2}) + kx=0"
