Select all the correct assumptions about the Moment-Distribution Method.  1. The structures have members of constant cross section throughout their respective lengths. That is, the members are prismatic. 2. The joints to which members are connected can rotate, but the ends of all members connected to a joint rotate the same amount as the joint. At a joint, there is no rotation of the ends of members relative to each other or to the joint. 3. Axial deformation of members is neglected. 4. The joints at which two or more members frame together do not translate. Excess or insufficient assumptions means wrong.

Select all the correct assumptions about the Moment-Distribution Method. 

1. The structures have members of constant cross section throughout their respective lengths. That is, the members are prismatic.

2. The joints to which members are connected can rotate, but the ends of all members connected to a joint rotate the same amount as the joint. At a joint, there is no rotation of the ends of members relative to each other or to the joint.

3. Axial deformation of members is neglected.

4. The joints at which two or more members frame together do not translate.

Excess or insufficient assumptions means wrong.
