Answer: (A) - Free end
For a cantilever beam, the maximum deflection will develop at a free end.
Solution:
The deflection of a cantilever beam is given by the equation
D = WL3/3 EI
- So, the deflection of the beam is directly proportional to the cube of the distance between the fixed point to the analysis point.
- The maximum distance is at the tip from the fixed support
- Therefore in the case of a cantilever beam, the maximum deflection will be developed at a free end
