0 0 votes A cantilever of length $l$, and flexural rigidity $EI$, stiffened by a spring of stiffness $k$, is loaded by a transverse force $P$, as shown. The transverse deflection under the load is $\dfrac{Pl^3}{3EI} \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{3EI}{3EI+2kl^3} \end{bmatrix}$ $\dfrac{Pl^3}{3EI} \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{6EI-kl^3}{6EI} \end{bmatrix}$ $\dfrac{Pl^3}{3EI} \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{3EI-kl^3}{3EI} \end{bmatrix}$ $\dfrac{Pl^3}{3EI} \begin{bmatrix} \dfrac{3EI}{3EI+kl^3} \end{bmatrix}$ Mechanics of Materials gateme-2020-set2 mechanics-of-materials applied-mechanics-and-design deflection-of-beams numerical-answers + – ♦go_editor 313 views answer comment Share Follow Add Sync Questions 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
