A horizontal cantilever beam (length 3L) is fixed at the wall at the left end and vertically constrained at the right end. There is a hinge located at x = L and a point load, P, at x = 2L acting vertically down. | L (hinge) L L Bending moment, m(x) The cross-section is constant and the material too, with EI = 2 x 10 kNm. If the length of the beam is 3L = 12 m and the load is P = 50 kN, calculate: the downwards vertical displacement at x = 2L beneath the applied load: Expected answer: 40.0 Round your answer to 3 significant figures.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To calculate the downward vertical displacement at x 2L beneath the applied load P we will use the principle of superposition which allows us to treat the bending moment due to the load separately fro... View the full answer
