SITUATION 3. Refer to MTE-TOS-008. A cantilever beam rests on B of beam ABC. The cantilever beam carries a uniform load w = 24.6 kN/m throughout its length. Prior to loading, the cantilever beam is only touching ABC at B. Both beams have identical cross-sectional properties. Given the following data:
L1 = 4 m E = 30 GPa
L2 = 2 m I = 1333 x 10^6 mm^4
7. Calculate the reaction at B. (Ans. 34.73 kN)
8. Calculate the deflection at B. (Ans. 1.16 mm)
9. Calculate the upward force at B to reduce the deflection at that point to 0.5 mm. (Ans. 19.73 kN)
