Positive Sign Convention:
1. Axial force and displacement along X-axis
2. Transverse forces and displacements along the Y-axis.
3. Counterclockwise moments and rotations

By using the Conjugate beam method for deflection determination:-
In the conjugate beam deflection determination method, the free end for the real beam is fixed
for the conjugate beam and vice versa. Also, the displacement of a point in the real beam is
numerically equal to the moment at the corresponding point in the conjugate beam.
Then,
