A floor beam ABC, simply supported at B and C, as shown in Figure 1a, is loaded with uniformly distributed load 'w' from point B to C. (a) Determine the vertical deflection at its free overhung end A. w (N/m) a P (N) B a Figure 1a B (b) To reduce the vertical deflection at point A, a point load 'P' is added as shown in Figure 1b. Determine the necessary relationship between 'P' and 'w' to make the vertical deflection at A equal to zero.
