Problem 11.26 - By Superposition

Problem Statement

An overhanging beam is loaded as shown where L1 = 7 ft, L2 = 5 ft, and w = 200 kip/ft. Determine the deflection at the point C. Assume EI = 29,000 kip-ft2.

An overhanging beam of length L1+L2 is subjected to a distributed load w. The distributed load is applied over length L2. [Problem adapted from © Kurt Gramoll CC BY NC-SA 4.0]
