A) For the cantilever beam shown, determine the equation of the elastic curve (e.g. deflected shape) in terms of the variables given in the figure. B) If w = 2 klf, L = 10 ft, and the beam is made of a steel cross-section W12x45 calculate the deflection at the end of the cantilever from the equation you found in part A (you may disregard self-weight for this analysis). A helpful database of cross-sectional properties is available here.

Problem 10.2
A) For the cantilever beam shown, determine the equation of the elastic curve (e.g. deflected shape) in
terms of the variables given in the figure.
B) If w = 2 klf, L = 10 ft, and the beam is made of a steel cross-section W12x45 calculate the deflection
at the end of the cantilever from the equation you found in part A (you may disregard self-weight for
this analysis). A helpful database of cross-sectional properties is available here.
C) Confirm the result of your hand calculations from part B with Visual Analysis, submitting
appropriate documentation to demonstrate that the results match.
