Calculate beam deflection at 1m intervals

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating beam deflection using a specified formula. The original poster seeks confirmation on the formula's correctness and requests assistance with the variables involved, specifically W, w, and x. Participants highlight the need for uniform units to ensure accurate calculations. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of showing work to facilitate assistance. Clarifying these points is essential for progressing with the beam deflection calculation.

Am i right in saying i can use this formulae: -

W/EI((x^3/12) - (xL^2/16)) + w/EI((Lx^3/12) - (x^4/24) - (xL^3/24))

please help.

See attached question. Question aii.

Thanks

How about defining what W,w, and x are.

Furthermore, your units do not appear to be uniform. Show some work or we cannot help.
