Question 6
A cantilever beam AB of length L is subjected to a uniformly distributed load w and simply
supported at the end A with a spring. Assume that El is constant and stiffness of the spring
is k.
(a) Determine the reaction forces at the end B of the beam shown in Figure Q6 by using the
virtual-work method.
(b) Describe the procedure to determine the deflection at the middle of the beam in 100
words (without actually solving the problem).
