The deflection of a simply supported beam with a central load and a cantilever beam with a free-end load are governed by different formulas, and their ratio depends on their lengths and loading conditions.
A simply supported beam of constant flexural rigidity and length 2L carries a concentrated load P at its mid span and the maximum deflection under the load is δ. A cantilever beam of the same flexural rigidity and length L is subjected to load P at its free end. Determine the relation between the deflection at free end of the cantilever with δ. - (5) Question not attempted
