Cantilever statically indeterminate beam with point load

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the deflection equation for a statically indeterminate cantilever beam with a point load. The user struggles with boundary conditions, noting that at the built-in end, both deflection and slope are zero, while at the propped end, only deflection is zero. Clarification is provided that at the propped end, the deflection y equals zero, not the slope dy/dx. The user attempts to apply these conditions using the equation M=EI d^2y/dx^2 but encounters issues with integration constants leading to incorrect results. Assistance is requested for calculations to resolve these difficulties.

hi
please if anyone can tell me how i can get the following equation (attachments) of deflection for statically indeterminate cantilever beam with point load (attachments). I'm not an engineering student and having difficulty in coming up with boundary conditions.
looking for help. thanks

At the built-in end, the deflection and slope of the beam are both equal to zero. At the propped end, only the deflection is equal to zero.
 
thank you SteamKing. it means at clamped end y(x) & dy/dx = 0 and propped end only dy/dx=o.

You got it half right. At the propped end, the deflection y = 0, not the slope dy/dx, as can be seen by inspection of the figure.
 
i tried these condition to find the deflection equation (eq image in thumbnail) using eq M=EI d^2y/dx^2, by integration method. but when i find the constants of integration by applying these BC and put their values i got zero instead of above equation. please help!

Can you post your calculations? It might be easier than trying to go through the whole exercise from scratch.
 
thank you SteamKing, and sorry for late reply, part of my calculation is in attachment. i hope you understand my writing...
