Define beam deflection.
Think about how a beam bends under weight.
What does the slope of a beam represent?
Consider how steep the beam tilts.
What is the formula for maximum deflection of a cantilever with a point load?
Think about the loading conditions.
Is it true that the Moment Area Method is useful for calculating slope changes?
Recall the definitions and applications of the method.
Given a cantilever beam of length L with a point load P at the free end, calculate the maximum deflection and slope at the fixed end.
Use the provided formulas carefully.
For a simply supported beam with length L and uniform load w, calculate the deflection in the middle using the formula derived.
Remember your integration results for this loading case.
