On applying the boundary conditions

and partitioning the equations associated with unknown displacements [the first,
second, and fourth equations of Eqs. (4.3.2)] from those equations associated with
known displacements in the usual manner, we obtain the final set of equations for a
longhand solution as

where F1y ¼ P, M1 ¼ 0, and M2 ¼ 0 have been used in Eq. (4.3.4). We will now
solve Eq. (4.3.4) for the nodal displacement and nodal slopes. We obtain the trans-
verse displacement at node 1 as
7PL 3
v1 ¼  ð4:3:5Þ
12EI
where the minus sign indicates that the displacement of node 1 is downward.
The slopes are
3PL 2 PL 2
f1 ¼ f2 ¼ ð4:3:6Þ
4EI 4EI
where the positive signs indicate counterclockwise rotations at nodes 1 and 2.
We will now determine the global nodal forces. To do this, we substitute
the known global nodal displacements and rotations, Eqs. (4.3.5) and (4.3.6), into
Eq. (4.3.2). The resulting equations are
