Question: A cantilevered beam with flexural rigidity E I ( and symmetric cross - section ) has a distributed load q o ( force / length

A cantilevered beam with flexural rigidity EI(and symmetric cross-section) has a distributed load qo(force /length) over half its span and is supported by a spring of stiffness k at its end. Assume the fit is perfect (stress-free) before qo is applied, and neglect the weight of the structure. Use potential energy minimization to find the field equations and boundary conditions.
