For a Cantilever Beam Maximum Deflection Will Develop at

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
