QUESTION 37 , (10 marks)
A cantilevered beam of uniform E! is supported at “A” and ha vertical forces at four
positions along the span labelled “B’, “C’, “D" and “E”. (Note that “E” is at the end of
the cantilever. A unit force acting at “E” produces deflections of 0.41 and 0.71mm at
“B" and “C" respectively. A unit force acting at “D” produces deflections of 0.27 and
0.62 mm at “B” and “C" respectively.
