Question 14
XE-DMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A simply supported beam is subjected to a concentrated force P = 4800 N at the mid-span as shown. The flexural rigidity of the beam is EI = 11 × 10⁶ N·m². The curvature of the beam between points Q and R is given as κ = (Px/2EI). The magnitude of deflection (in mm) of the beam at x = 0.5 m is
