Question

The locus of reaction of a two hinged semi-circular arch is-

A.

Straight line

B.

Parabola

C.

Circle

D.

Hyperbola

Correct option is A


The locus of reaction of a two-hinged semi-circular arch is a straight line. This is due to the symmetric nature of the arch and the fact that the horizontal and vertical reactions at the supports result in a linear locus for the reaction forces, which is a characteristic feature of this type of arch structure.
