Let's break down the problem shown in the image: ### **Question** Calculate the maximum deflection and slope of a cantilever steel beam of length 2 m and cross-section 30 mm × 80 mm having a point load of 2 kN at the free end. Given: \( E_{steel} = 200 \) GPa. --- ### **Step-by-Step Solution** #### **1. Convert units** - Load, \( P = 2 \) kN = **2000 N** - Length, \( L = 2 \) m - Cross-section: \( b = 30 \) mm = **0.03 m**, \( h = 80 \) mm = **0.08 m** - \( E = 200 \) GPa = **\( 200 \times 10^9 \) N/m²** #### **2. Moment of Inertia (I)** \[ I = \frac{b h^3}{12} = \frac{0.03 \times (0.08)^3}{12} = \frac{0.03 \times 0.000512}{12} = \frac{0.00001536}{12} = 1.28 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^4 \] #### **3. Deflection and Slope Formulas (Cantilever, Point Load at Free End)** - **Maximum deflection (\( \delta \))**: \[ \delta = \frac{P L^3}{3EI} \] - **Slope at free end (\( \theta \))**: \[ \theta = \frac{P L^2}{2EI} \] #### **4. Substitute Values** ##### **Deflection** \[ \delta = \frac{2000 \times (2)^3}{3 \times 200 \times 10^9 \times 1.28 \times 10^{-6}} \] \[ = \frac{2000 \times 8}{3 \times 200 \times 10^9 \times 1.28 \times 10^{-6}} \] \[ = \frac{16000}{768000} \] \[ = 0.0208 \text{ m} \] ##### **Slope** \[ \theta = \frac{2000 \times (2)^2}{2 \times 200 \times 10^9 \times 1.28 \times 10^{-6}} \] \[ = \frac{2000 \times 4}{2 \times 200 \times 10^9 \times 1.28 \times 10^{-6}} \] \[ = \frac{8000}{512000} \] \[ = 0.0156 \text{ rad} \] --- ### **Check Options in Image** Let's compare with the given options: - Option 1: δ = 0.395 m and θ = 0.2963 rad - Option 2: δ = 39.5 m and θ = 29.63 rad - Option 3: δ = 0.2963 m and θ = 0.395 rad - Option 4: δ = 3.95 × 10⁻³ m and θ = 2.963 × 10⁻³ rad --- ### **Conclusion** **The correct answer is:** > **Option 4: δ = 3.95 × 10⁻³ m and θ = 2.963 × 10⁻³ rad** This matches the reasonable order of magnitude for a steel beam under such load.
