    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.
