y = (wl^3)/(48*EI) FOR WIDTH b.
If it is 2b, I = 2bh^3/12.
y' = (wl^3)/(48*E2I).
So it is 1/2.
If it is 2b, I = 2bh^3/12.
y' = (wl^3)/(48*E2I).
So it is 1/2.

Deflection = wl^3/48EI.
So, from data b = 2b (double).
MOI = bd^3/12 = (2bd^3/12).
y = (wl^3)/48E (2bd^3)/12).
y = 1/2 ((wl^3)/(48EI)).
So, from data b = 2b (double).
MOI = bd^3/12 = (2bd^3/12).
y = (wl^3)/48E (2bd^3)/12).
y = 1/2 ((wl^3)/(48EI)).

Only by using 2nd moment,
= bd^3/12 divided by 2bd^3/12.
OR
bd^3/12 X 12/2bd^3 (after canceling what left behind is 1/2).
= bd^3/12 divided by 2bd^3/12.
OR
bd^3/12 X 12/2bd^3 (after canceling what left behind is 1/2).

If width=b,
Then, I=bh^3/12.
So,
(Def)max=PL^3/48EI
Now,
If width=b'=2b
Then,
I'=b'h^3/12=(2b)h^3/12=2(bh^3/12)
I'=2I
So,
(Def)'max = PL^3/48EI'
= PL^3/48E(2I)
= 1/2[PL^3/48EI]
(Def)'max = 1/2(Def)max
Hence Proved That,
If the width of a simply supported beam carrying an isolated load at its centre is doubled, the deflection of the beam at the centre is changed by (1/2).
Then, I=bh^3/12.
So,
(Def)max=PL^3/48EI
Now,
If width=b'=2b
Then,
I'=b'h^3/12=(2b)h^3/12=2(bh^3/12)
I'=2I
So,
(Def)'max = PL^3/48EI'
= PL^3/48E(2I)
= 1/2[PL^3/48EI]
(Def)'max = 1/2(Def)max
Hence Proved That,
If the width of a simply supported beam carrying an isolated load at its centre is doubled, the deflection of the beam at the centre is changed by (1/2).

Deflection has an inverse relation with square of the area of the beam .
deflection = 1/(A)2 ie A=bd.
So if we increase the width of the beam. Then;
Deflection =1/(2bd)2.
Deflection= 1/4(bd)2.
Deflection will be decreased by 1/4.
deflection = 1/(A)2 ie A=bd.
So if we increase the width of the beam. Then;
Deflection =1/(2bd)2.
Deflection= 1/4(bd)2.
Deflection will be decreased by 1/4.

Deflection at centre = wl^3/48EI where I= bd^3/12.
Now b = 2b so I= 2bd^3/12 so I=bd^3/6.
Now deflection= WL^3/48E*(bd^3/6).
= WL^3* (6)/ bd^3 * (48).
= 1/8.
Now changed of beam = deflection normal/ deflection due to doubled width.
= 1/(1/8)
= 8.
So the centre is changed by 8 times.
Now b = 2b so I= 2bd^3/12 so I=bd^3/6.
Now deflection= WL^3/48E*(bd^3/6).
= WL^3* (6)/ bd^3 * (48).
= 1/8.
Now changed of beam = deflection normal/ deflection due to doubled width.
= 1/(1/8)
= 8.
So the centre is changed by 8 times.

Deflection = wl^3/48EI. For width b.
If b = 2b
MOI = bd^3/12 = (2bd^3/12).
So, Deflection = (wl^3)/48E (2bd^3)/12).
Deflection= 1/2 ((wl^3)/(48EI)).
Deflection is 1/2.
If b = 2b
MOI = bd^3/12 = (2bd^3/12).
So, Deflection = (wl^3)/48E (2bd^3)/12).
Deflection= 1/2 ((wl^3)/(48EI)).
Deflection is 1/2.
