Using the slope and deflection method please solve: A horizontal propped cantilever of length L is securely fixed at one end and freely supported at the other end and is subjected to a bending couple M in the vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis of the beam. If the couple is applied about an axis 0.75L from the fixed end of the cantilever, determine the end fixing moment and the reaction at the freely supported end. Fixed end moment answer given: 1.406 M/L Answer given for the Reaction at the freely supported end: 0.406M


Extracted text: A horizontal propped cantilever of length L is securely fixed at one end and freely supported at the other end and is subjected to a bending couple M in the vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis of the beam. If the couple is applied about an axis 0.75L from the fixed end of the cantilever, determine the end fixing moment and the reaction at the freely 5) supported end. [Ans: 1.406 M/1; 0.406M]
