With isolated load at end d = Wl3/3EI.

And with uniformly distributed load over full length than d = wl4/8EI.

@John.

Where is the remaining L?

Baloch said:   9 years ago
Also, 3/8 seems right.

Maruthi said:   8 years ago
According to me, It is wl3/8EI.

@ALL.

wl^3/3EI ÷ wl^4/8EI =8l/3. So answer is 8/3.

For udl max deflection = Wl3/8EI.
For isolated load, maximum deflection = Wl3/3EI.
WL3/8EI ÷ WL3/ 3 EI = 8/3.

@Chandrasheka and @Resmi.

Both your explanation is correct.
