A cantilever beam AB is loaded as shown in Figure 1. EI is constant for the beam. L = 2.7 m and P = 8.9 kN. Write down your L and P values and answer parts a to c below. (a) Using the moment area method, determine the slope of the beam at B. (b) Using the conjugate beam method, determine vertical deflection at B. (c) Draw the free body diagram (FBD) of the virtual force system for the virtual work method to determine the vertical deflection at the mid-span of the beam. (Note: No calculations are required and show only the FBD).
