When a no. of loads rest upon a beam, the deflection at any point is equal to the sum of the deflections at this point due to each of the loads taken separately. This is according to
When a number of loads rest upon a beam, dflection at any point is equal to the sum of the deflections at the point due to each of the loads taken separately. This statement is known as
A cantilever beam rectangular in cross-section is subbjected to a load W at its free end. If the depth of the beam is doubled and the load is halved, the deflection of the free end as compared to original deflection will be
A cantilever beam of square section is subjected to a load W at the free end. If the length of the beam is doubled and load reduced to half, the deflection at the free end as compared to original deflection would be
A beam of overall length / rests on two simple supports with equal overhangs on both sides. Two equal loads act at the free ends. If the deflection at the centre of the beam is the same as at either end, then the length of either overhang is
A simply supported beam 'A' of length l, breadth b and depth d carries a central load W. Another beam 'B' of the same dimensions carries a central load equal to 2 W. The deflection of beam 'B' will be
