The distributed load acting on a cantilever beam AB has an intensity q given by the expression q0 cos πx/2L, where q0 is the maximum intensity of the load (see figure).

Derive the equation of the deflection curve, and then determine the deflection dB at the free end. Use the fourth-order differential equation of the deflection curve (the load equation).
