For the beam loaded as shown in Fig. P-614, calculate the slope of the elastic curve over the right
support.
Solution 614
At x = 0, y = 0, therefore C2 = 0
At x = 8 ft, y = 0
0 = 40(83) - (25/6)(84) + (25/6)(44) + 8C1
C1 = -560 lb·ft2
Thus,
Compute the value of EI y at the right end of the overhanging beam shown in Fig. P-615.
Solution 615
At x = 0, y = 0, therefore C2 = 0
At x = 10 ft, y = 0
0 = (110/3)(103) - (500/3)(43) + 10C1
C1 = -2600 lb·ft2

Find the midspan deflection δ for the beam shown in Fig. P-620, carrying two triangularly
distributed loads. (Hint: For convenience, select the origin of the axes at the midspan position of
the elastic curve.)
