Answer:
1. Slope = 53.3 x 10⁻⁶
2. Deflection = -0.00016m
Explanation:
given:
let L = 4 m (span of cantilever beam)
let w = 300 N/m (distributed load)
let EI =60 MNm² (flexural stiffness)
dy w * L³ 300 x 4³
1. slope = ------- = --------- = ------------------- = 53.3 x 10⁻⁶
dx 6EI 6 x 60x10⁶
wL⁴ 300 x 4⁴
2. Deflection = y = - ----------- = - ------------------ = -0.00016m
8EI 8 x 60x10⁶
therefore the deflection is 0.16mm downwards.
