A beam of span l is fixed at one end & simply supported at other end. It carries uniformly distributed load of w per unit run over the whole span. The reaction at the simply supported end is what ?

Ans is 3wl/8.
As at simply supported beam deflection is zero.
Deflection due to distributed load w is wl^4/8EI,
Deflection due to support reaction is pl^3/3EI,
Both are equal so p=3wl/8.
