A cantilever carries is uniformly distributed load W over its whole length and a force W acts at its free end upward. The net deflection of the free end will be
zero
upward
downward

Where CONSIDER.

wl^4/8EI = + (because downward).
wl^3/3EI= - (BECAUSE UPWARD).

Then;
WL^4/8EI -WL^3/3EI.
WHERE CONSIDER.
W=L=1 ,, EI =IS CONSTANT FOR BOTH.
Put the value.
ANSWER IS NEGATIVE (-5/24).

I consider minus sign is upward direction.
SO ANSWER IS UPWARD.

In this Question, given UDL is already converted in point load W.

So we have to take WL^3/8EI in place of wL^4/8EI.

UDL=1/8 & Concentrated Load=1/8.

Take difference of both because they are in opposite direction we will get the required Answer B.

@Rishi.

W= w*l.

There is a reaction at the free end i.e. (3wl)/8 it causes upward deflection @Ram.

Deflection always down word? How to upward?

Dhanu said:   8 years ago
Net deflection= WL^3/3EI - (wl)L^3/8EI.

5/24 WL^3/EI.

Support always deflection zero. This type of beam propped cantilever.

And cantilever beam UDL load come deflection wl^4/8EI or Points load come deflection wl^3/3EI.

RISHI said:   8 years ago
Deflection of Cantilever in UDL is wl^4/8EI. HOW COME WL^3/8EI?

Lee said:   9 years ago
Net deflection= WL^3/8EI - WL^3/3EI.

= 5WL^3/24EI.
