Consider the cantilever beam shown in Figure 2, which is subjected to a linearly distributed transverse load with intensity qo at the tip. Using a single cubic beam finite element and the corresponding consistent load vector obtain: (a) The deflection and slope at the tip (free end) of the beam. (b) The reactions at the fixed boundary.

Question
![Consider the cantilever beam shown in Figure 2, which is subjected to a linearly distributed
transverse load with intensity qo at the tip. Using a single cubic beam finite element and the
corresponding consistent load vector obtain:
(a) The deflection and slope at the tip (free end) of the beam.
(b) The reactions at the fixed boundary.
(c) Comment on how the above finite element results would compare with the "exact" results
for the beam obtained from the solution of the governing differential equation. Without
performing the calculations, comment on how the exact and finite element predicted (i)
deflection profiles and (ii) strain energies would compare?
