Question: A cantilever beam with a uniform load (see figure) has a height h equal to 1/8 of the length L. The beam is a steel

A cantilever beam with a uniform load (see figure) has a height h equal to 1/8 of the length L. The beam is a steel wideflange section with E = 28 x 106 psi and an allowable bending stress of 17,500 psi in both tension and compression.
Calculate the ratio d/L of the deflection at the free end to the length, assuming that the beam carries the maximum allowable load. (Use the formulas of Example 9-2.)
