Since the load P corresponds to this deflection, we do not need to supply a fictitious load. Instead, we can begin immediately to find the bending moments throughout the length of the beam. The reaction at support is as shown in Fig. 9-43, Therefore, the bending moment in span AB is gh Px gt Re 28 where x, is measured to the right from support A (Fig. 9-43).

In other words, if the preceding equation produces a positive result, the deflection is downward. Ifthe result is negative, the deflection is upward. ‘Comparing the two terms in Eq, (9-89), we see that the deflection atthe end of the overhang is downward when P > gL/6 and upward when ql. > 6P. "Angle of rotation 0 at the end of the overhang (Fig. 9-42b), Since there is no load on the original beam (Fig. 9-42) corresponding to this angle of rotation, ‘we must supply @ fictitious load. Therefore, we place a couple of moment Mat point C (Fig, 9-44), Note that the couple Mg acts atthe point on the beam where the angle of rotation is to be determined. Furthermore, it has the same clockwise direction as the angle of rotation. 4 P Me c “We now follow the same steps as when determining the deflection at C.
