The deflection at the free end is zero, the only slope of ML/EI exists at the free end, and the maximum deflection occurs at the fixed end which is ML^2/EI, at fixed end, slope is zero.

W=wl, so ML^2 / 3EI or wl^3/3EI for a moment at free end in cantilever beam and Isolated load at free end, the deflection for cantilever beam= PL^3/3EI.

Slope = ML/EI.
deflection = ML^2/2EI, So option C is correct.

DEFLECTION:

ml2/2EI FOR CANTILEVER APPLIED FREE END MOMENT.
ML3/3EI FOR CANTILEVER APPLIED FREE END CONCENTRATED LOAD.

It's C option but ML2/2EI.

In question cantilever subject to moment only.

They haven't mentioned any load.

Nitesh Sing said:   4 years ago
In the case of a cantilever beam moment at its free end, the slope is ML/EI and Deflection is ML^2/2EI.

Deepak Baswal said:   7 years ago
ML^2/3EI is equal to wl^3/3EI because (wl=M).

So, Given answer is right.

Prayag Raj Patnaik said:   6 years ago
Option C is correct and the option for slope calculations.

Cheers!

Wl^3/3EI cantilever with free end point load deflection.
