Deflection will increase on increasing width and decrease on increasing depth.

Should deflection decrease on increasing width or decrease?

Deflection at free end Y = pL^3/(2EI).
= 1/2.

1/2.

Definition=wl^3/3EI.
I=bd^3/12 for rectangular section according to question b=2b.
So, the deflection =1/2.

Deflection.

For point load, deflection (proportional) -> l^3/bd^3.

For udl deflection (proportional) -> l^4/bd^3.

Deflection of the cantilever is PL^3/3EI.

So, i=bd^3/12 according to the quetions ratio ( bd^3/12 )/(2b(2d)^3/12) =1/16,
ia/ib=0.0625.
ia/ib= 6.25% is the answer.

Deflection of the cantilever is PL^3/3EI.

So, i=bd^3/12 according to the quetions ratio ( bd^3/12 )/(2bd^3/12) =1/2 is the answer.

Option D correct.

{4wl^3÷Ebd ^3}÷{2wl ^3÷E bd ^3}= 2.

Pintu kumar said:   7 years ago
Option D is the correct answer.

Y1= WL^3/3EIx.
Ix = bd^3/12.
Now for b = 2b.
Iy = 2bd^3/12.
Iy = 2 Ix.
Now Y2 = WL^3/3EIy or WL^3/3E(2Ix)
Y2 = 1/2( WL^3/3EIx)
Y2 = 1/2 Y1.

So, option C correct.
