Using excel, plot the graph shows the deflection of a beam and also calculate the maximum deflection of the beam.

Answer to Problem 12P
Using excel, a table and graph is created to shows the deflection of a beam and the maximum deflection of the beam is
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The length of the cantilever beam is
The modulus of elasticity
That is,
The second moment of area
That is,
The distributed load
Formula used:
Formula to calculate the deflection of the cantilever of the beam is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the distance (x) from the support as shown with the range from
Refer to the Figure 1:
Column A shows the distance
Column B shows the deflection
Here, A2 cell represent the distance
Table 1 shows the distance
Refer to the Figure 14.16 in the textbook.
Draw the graph for the distance
For X-axis, scale change is done by clicking the Layout on toolbar and picks the “Axes”. Choose the primary horizontal axis and select the “More Primary Horizontal Axis Options”. A dialog box of Format axis shows the axis option in that click the fixed and type the minimum value as 0, maximum value as 5, and major unit as 1 and minor unit as 0.2 and click the close option.
Likewise for Y-axis, scale change is done by clicking the Layout on toolbar and picks the “Axes”. Choose the primary vertical axis and select the “More Primary Vertical Axis Options”. A dialog box of Format axis shows the axis option in that click the fixed and type the minimum value as
Figure 2 shows the curve of the deflection of a cantilever beam.
For the maximum deflection of the beam, the distance
That is,
Given,
Substitute the unit
Substitute
Thus, the maximum deflection of the beam is
Conclusion:
Hence, a table and graph is created using excel to shows the deflection of a beam and the maximum deflection of the beam is

In a water flood operation in reservoir A, water is being distributed to severalinjection wells from a common injection system; that is, water is supplied to all thewells at approximately the same well head pressure. Routine measurement of theindividual well injection rates by the team of field operators showed that one well wasreceiving approximately 45% more than its neighbours. The sum of the kh productsfor all of the injection wells were approximately the same depth. As a member of theteam, explain:What are the possible causes of the abnormally high injection rate in this well, andwhat production logs or other tests might be run to further diagnose the problem andplan remedial action?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 20 pts Test data on the bending strength of construction wood poles of various diameter are presented below assuming the same length.
