Question 83
XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A simply-supported beam, with a point load P = 150 kN at a distance of L/3 from the left end, is shown in the figure. The elastic-strain energy (U) of the beam is given by the following expression:
where the section modulus, EI, is 16.66 × 10⁵ Nm² and the length of the beam L is 1 m. The deflection at the loading point is ____ mm (rounded off to two decimal places).
