A simply supported prismatic beam $AB$ carries a concentrated load $P$ as shown in Fig. $8($b$).$ Locate the point of maximum deflection on the elastic line and find the value of this deflection. The following numerical data are given: $a=6m,b=2m,P=10t,E=2(10{)}^{5}k\frac{g}{c}{m}^2,1=93,750c{m}^2.$
