Problem 11.25 - By Superposition

Problem Statement

An overhanging beam is loaded as shown where L = 7.5 m and w = 7.5 kN/m. Determine the magnitude of the deflection at point A. Assume EI = 30,000 kN-m2.

An overhanging beam of length 3L has a distributed load w applied to it. The beam overhangs length L, and the distributed load is applied from L to 3L. [Problem adapted from © Kurt Gramoll CC BY NC-SA 4.0]
