Question: 1. Compute the deflection at midspan and the slope at A in Figure P8.19. EI is constant. Express the slope in degrees and the deflection in inches. Assume a pin support at A and a roller at D. E = 29,000 kips/in.2, I = 2000 in.4.
2. (a) Compute the vertical deflection and slope of the cantilever beam at points B and C in Figure P8.20. Given: EI is constant throughout, L = 12 ft, and E = 4000 kips/in.2. What is the minimum required value of I if the deflection of point C is not to exceed 0.4 in.?
