Question

Figure 4–5a shows a cantilever beam with an end load. Normally we model this
problem by considering the left support as rigid. After testing the rigidity of the
wall it was found that the translational stiffness of the wall was kt force per unit
vertical deflection, and the rotational stiffness was kr moment per unit angular
(radian) deflection (see Fig. 4–5b). Determine the deflection equation for the beam
under the load F.
