(b) In order to prevent vertical deflection at C, a roller support is placed beneath point
C of the plane fTame of Fig. 2. However, due to construction defect, a vertical gap of
0.15 ft has been introduced at C. Detennine the magnitude of force F that will cause
point C to just touch the roller support. Follow moment distribution method of analysis. (17)
