It i s WL^2/8.

Kallan said:   8 years ago
wl= W,
So WL/8.

Sheela KR said:   7 years ago
I agree @Kallan.

Suraj Khatiwada said:   7 years ago
No, it should be WL^2/8.

Naveen said:   5 years ago
Wl^2/8 is the answer.

Enali said:   5 years ago
I think WL^2/8.
The reaction at support = WL/2.
Shear force D is a rectangular shape.
Bending moment = area of Rectangle.
BMD = 1/2 L/2 WL/2 = WL^2/4.

Wl^2/8 is the correct answer.

Balu said:   4 years ago
1/2*Wl/2*l/2.

= Wl^2/8.

Load of the beam uniformly distributed throughout its length at intensity w per unit length then the maximum deflection of the beam will be (wL^2 /8).

Now total weight (W) = w.L.

Hence put (w = W/L) in the maximum bending moment formula you will get (WL/8).
