0.985 mm]
4 A beam of uniform rectangular section 100 mm wide and 240 mm deep is simply supported
ends. It carries a uniformly distributed load of 9.125 KN/m run over the entire span of' 4m.

mid-point and also the position of maximum deflection and the maximum deflection. Take E= 2 x 105
N/mm2 and I= 4.3 x 108 mm4 [Ans. (i) y= - 16.29 mm (ii) x= 3.83 m (iii) ymax = -16.33 mm]

3 A beam ABC of length 9 metre has one support at the left end and other support B at a distance of 6m
from the left Support A. The beam carries a point load of 10 kN at point C which is 9m away from
left support A. The point C is Free end. The Beam is One side over hanged. Find the slopes over each
supports A & B and at the right end C. Find also the maximum upward deflection between the
supports and the deflection at the point C. Take E= 2 x 105 N/mm2 and I= 5 x 108 mm4
