What is the maximum deflection for a cantilever beam with point load?
💡 Hint: Focus on the role of the load and support.
True or False: UDL causes more deflection than a point load of the same total weight.
💡 Hint: Think about how weight distribution works.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cantilever beam of length 5m is subjected to a point load of 1200N at the free end. Calculate the maximum deflection. Given: E = 210 GPa, I = 5000 cm^4.
💡 Hint: Ensure units are consistent!
A simply supported beam with length 6m and UDL of 250N/m results in deflection. What are the maximum deflections? Given: E = 210 GPa, I = 6000 cm^4.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to unit conversions!
