A 2m long cantilever beam with a rectangular cross-section of 60mm by 90mm is subjected to a 4kN concentrated load at the free end. The deflection at the end is 14.6mm, the maximum stress due to bending is 98.765 N/mm^2, and the bending moment and shear force were determined. Material properties and beam dimensions were input into the model to solve for stresses and deflections.

1. A 2m long cantilever with rectangular section (60mmx90mm) is
subjected to concentrated load of 4KN at the free end of the
beam. Determine the deflection, maximum stress due to
bending, Bending Moment and Shear Force. Take E = 200
GPa.
P = 4 X 103 N, Length L = 2m = 2000mm,
P

2. Deflection = y = PL3 / 3EI
= 14.6mm
Maximum Stress = σ = M / Z = 6 PL / BD2
= 98.765 N/mm2
