An overhanging beam $A B C$ supports a concentrated load $P$ at the end of the overhang (see figure). Span $A B$ has length $L,$ and the overhang has length $a$ Determine the deflection $\delta_{C}$ at the end of the overhang. (Obtain the solution by determining the strain energy of the beam and then using Castigliano's theorem.)

Simply supported beam carries uniformly distributed load shown in the following figure. The deflection, δ, along the beam is governed by the following equation: δ = (5L^4x + 4Lx^3) / (384EI) where: x is the distance from the support A L is the total length of the beam w is the load per unit length E is the Young modulus of the beam I is the moment of inertia of the section of beam. (Hint: W, L, E, and I are constant parameters) Prove that: The maximum deflection is at the mid-span of the beam, i.e. at x = L/2. And the maximum deflection is (384EI / 5L^4).

A cantilever beam of length $L$ is embedded at its right end, and a horizontal tensile force of $P$ pounds is applied to its free left end. When the origin is taken at its free end, as shown, the deflection $y(x)$ of the beam can be shown to satisfy the differential equation $$ E I y^{\prime \prime}=P y-w(x) \frac{x}{2} $$ Find the deflection of the cantilever beam if $w(x)=w_{0} x$, $0<x<L$, and $y(0)=0, y^{\prime}(L)=0$
