How to Derive Beam Deflection Formula for a Double Cantilever Simple Beam?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the beam deflection formula for a double cantilever simple beam. The original poster has the formula y = (FL^3)/(48—Iε) but is unsure how to connect it with other equations like M ymax / I and 1/p = M/EI. Respondents question the validity of the provided formula and suggest that the poster clarify whether they are looking for the derivation of d^2y/dx^2 = M/EI. They also recommend considering the two beams as springs in parallel or series to determine the effective spring constant. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in the formulas and the correct approach to the derivation.

hi i am currently trying to mathcamatically derive the beam deflection formula for a double cantilever simple beam. i have the beam deflection formula y= (FL^3)/(48—Iε) as well as M ymax / I as well as 1/p = M/EI but am not sure how to link them together. any help will be apprecieated
Thanx :)

hi i am currently trying to mathcamatically derive the beam deflection formula for a double cantilever simple beam What's that? Do you mean a beam on two simple supports?[/color] i have the beam deflection formula y= (FL^3)/(48—Iε)what's this? It looks something like the deflection at centerline of a simply supported beam with a concentrated load F at its center, but your denominator makes no sense. [/color] as well as? = [/color] M ymax / I as well as 1/p = M/EI but am not sure how to link them together. any help will be apprecieated
Thanx :)
See my questions noted in red. Are you looking for the derivation of the beam deflection formula d^2y/dx^2 = M/EI ? You might want to google it.
 
you definitely need to consier the two beams as springs in parallel or series, then get the effective spring constant
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
