(4/3) * (deflection/length) = (4/3) * (7.5/1000) = .01 radian.

The defection of a UDL cantilever beam= wl4/8EI and Slope =wl3/6EI.

So here we know deflection at free end =7.5 mm.7.5=wl4/8EI or w= 7.5x8xEI/l4, put this value in equation Slope, ie Slpoe= (7.5x8xEIxL3)/6xEIxL4=..01 radian.

We know,
Slope = θx.
7.5 = θ * 2/3 * L.
7.5 = θ * 2/3 * 1000.
θ = 0.01.

Given L = 1m = 1000 mm.
Deflection = 7.5 mm.
Slope = ?
We have Deflection = slope x 2/3L.
=> 7.5 = slope x 2/3 x 1000 = 0.01 radian.

Slope/deflection=(wl^3/6EI)/(wl^4/8EI),
(Slope/7.5) = (1÷6) /(8/L),
Slope/7.5 = (8/(6 * 1000));
Slope = 0.01 radian.
