More W & L, more deflection.
More B & D, less Deflection.

That's why 8 times.

No answer is wrong its will be ANS-A (8).

@All.

Here, it is mentioned to double the load not length.

Wl^3/3EI upon W(2l^3) /3EI.

Solve then the answer will be 1/8.

Answer: 8 times.

Deflection at the free end due to point load = Wl*L*L/3EI.

Put 2L in place of L, it becomes 8 times.

Option B is wrong.

Deflection = Wl.l.l/3EI,

Given that L = 2l,

Then deflection = W.2l.2l.2l/EI,

=> 8x W.l.l.l/3EI.

So option A is right.

Read the question carefully, they are not telling about length they said if the load at the free end is double it mean W = 2W. The deflection of the free end is WL^3/3EI when we put W = 2w it become1/2 which is not given in the answer but the right answer is 1/2.

@Shweta.

I think, your answer is wrong.

Baloch said:   9 years ago
It's not doubling the load, it's doubling the length.

L^3, 2L^3 = 8, And is C.

It will be option A i.e. 8.
