Question 60
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
A stepped cantilever beam, made of a material having Young’s modulus
GPa, is shown in the figure below. The length and the moment of inertia of the beam from point A to B are
mm and
mm
, respectively. The length and the moment of inertia of the beam from point B to C are
mm and
mm
, respectively. A shear force
N is applied at point A of the beam. The magnitude of the deflection of the beam at point A is ________ mm (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
