Two identical beams are loaded with P and 2P. Which beam will deflect the most?

Assume that M0 = 6.15 kN-m and L = 6.60 m. Determine the reaction at support B. Assume that EI is constant for the beam.

Determine the beam deflection at point H. Assume that EI = 1.50 × 1010 kN-mm2 is constant.

Assume that P = 35 kips and L = 5 ft. Determine the reaction force at C. Assume that EI is constant for the beam. (Reminder: The roller symbol implies that both upward and downward displacement is restrained.)

Two nearly identical beams with different lengths are loaded with P at center span. Which beam will deflect the least? Ignore the weight difference between the two beams.

Two identical beams are loaded with w on opposite ends. Which beam will deflect the least?

Determine the beam deflection at point H. Assume that EI = 1.21 × 107 kips-in.2 is constant.

A nurse is caring for a patient who was admitted with severe left lower lobe lobular pneumonia. The patient’s current oxygen saturation is 89% on 2 L/min of nasal cannula, and they are experiencing mild dyspnea. Which position should the nurse place the patient in to optimize ventilation-perfusion matching and improve oxygenation?

Determine the beam deflection at point H. Assume that EI = 3.33 × 1010 kN-mm2 is constant.

Assume that M = 153 kN-m and that EI = 5.0 × 1010 kN-mm2 is constant. Determine the concentrated downward force P required to make the total beam deflection at B equal to zero.
