This question given answer option & response answer is incorrect. Above answer is simply.

Supported beam with central point load.

WWa/12.726EIl (l2-E2) 3/2.

Rajkotha said:   6 years ago
Simply supported beam Wl^3/48EI.
Simply supported with UDL -5WL^4/384EI.
Both ends fixed -WL^3/192EI.
Both ends fixed with UDL -WL^4/384EI.

Since the load is applied Centrally.

a=b=L/2.
we have y=(w.a^2.b^2)/3EI.L putting above values in this we get,
y=(wL^3)/48EI.

Figure is not correct, according to question force acting at the centre, its mean a = b = l/2.

wl^3/48EI = y.

Narendra Singh said:   8 years ago
The correct answer is "B".

This is simply supported beam with a load acting at the center of the beam.

If the load acting at a distance a from one end wa/3El *(L^2-a^2/3)^3/2.

Pradeep said:   8 years ago
A is correct. Read the question carefully. Weight W is act in centre.

Can be calculated simply by Macaulay's method.

RAJIV RANJAN said:   8 years ago
For the given condition y=w(a^2 *b^2)/3EIL.

Rajendra said:   8 years ago
I think 5wl^4/384EI is the correct answer.
