What is the first step in the Double Integration Method?
💡 Hint: Think about what defines the curvature of the beam.
True or False: The maximum deflection for a cantilever beam with a point load is given by \(\delta_{max} = \frac{PL^3}{3EI}\).

Calculate the maximum deflection of a cantilever beam of length 2m with a point load of 50N at the free end. Given: E = 200 GPa, I = 5 × 10^-6 m^4.
💡 Hint: Ensure to convert units appropriately.
For a simply supported beam of length 4m with a load of 80N at the center, calculate the maximum deflection. Given: E = 150 GPa, I = 2 × 10^-5 m^4.
💡 Hint: Check your calculations for accuracy.
