Problem 11.1 - By Integration of Moment Equation

Problem Statement

A cantilever beam of length L = 7.5 m is subjected to a distributed load w = 6.5 kN/m and concentrated load P = 15 kN. Determine the maximum deflection of the beam. Assume EI = 25,000 kN-m2.

A cantilever beam of length L is subjected to a distributed load w and a point load P.
