I am trying to find the deflection of the beam as described below,
The beam has an overall length L and a load Q acting downwards at this point, the question is asking for the deflection of the beam at the point three quarters of the way along the beam. The beam has constant flexural rigidity EI.
I have tried this problem a number of times and keep coming up with two different solutions, depending from which side of the beam I take my moments. The solutions I have are;
27QL^3/128EI and 11QL^3/384EI
Could someone please tell me which one is correct? I think it's the first answer but I'm not 100%.
Thanks.
