by Group A:
Consider the cantilever beam supported at one side. The force F is acting at one side of the beam. Assuming that moment of inertia I, cross-section area A, length 2L, and w, are given, determine:
a) Sketch internal force and internal moment diagrams
b) Determine the equation describing the beam deformation Y as a function of distance X. Choose the best location of the center of the XY coordinate system.
Group B:
Consider the beam supported at two sides. The beam carries a uniformly distributed load per unit length equal to w. Assuming that moment of inertia I, cross-section area A, length 2L, and w, are given:
a) Sketch internal force and internal moment diagrams
b) Determine the equation describing the beam deformation Y as a function of distance X. Choose the best location of the center of the XY coordinate system.
