Hey Guys,
I need help understanding how to find the deflection of the following cantilever beam (in the image: capture).
There a beam with a fixed end (point A), and a roller support halfway on the beam (point B), I need to find the deflection at the end of the beam (point C).
Can someone just double check that I've done this right:
To find the reaction at point B is just doing the ƩMat A=0=-P2L+RBL → RB=2P
Now to find the deflection at C (see capture2), can I just apply: vmax=(5×RB×(2L)3)/(48EI)
Thanks
