A cantilever beam of length, $L$, with uniform cross-section and flexural rigidity, $EI$, is loaded uniformly by a vertical load, $w$ per unit length. The maximum vertical deflection of the beam is given by
- $\dfrac{wL^4}{8EI} \\$
- $\dfrac{wL^4}{16EI} \\$
- $\dfrac{wL^4}{4EI} \\$
- $\dfrac{wL^4}{24EI}$
