Answer

Deflections on points: 1=0.27 inch 2=0.30 inch 3=0.23 inch

Work Step by Step

Let D be the Flexibility Matrix in inches per pound $D= \begin{bmatrix}.005&.002&.001\\.002&.004&.002\\.001&.002&.005\end{bmatrix}$ Forces of 30, 50, and 20 lb are applied at points 1,2, and 3 respectively. $f= \begin{bmatrix}30\\50\\20\end{bmatrix}$ The corresponding deflections $y$ are, $y=Df$ $y=\begin{bmatrix}.005&.002&.001\\.002&.004&.002\\.001&.002&.005\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}30\\50\\20\end{bmatrix}$ $y=\begin{bmatrix}(.005\times30)+(.002\times50)+(.001\times20)\\(.002\times30)+(.004\times50)+(.002\times20)\\(.001\times30)+(.002\times50)+(.005\times20)\end{bmatrix}$ $y=\begin{bmatrix}.27\\.30\\.23\end{bmatrix}$ Deflections on points: 1=0.27 inch 2=0.30 inch 3=0.23 inch
