Question

A 3 m long simply supported beam of uniform cross section is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of w=20 kN/mw = 20 \text{ kN/m} in the central 1 m as shown in the figure.
A simply supported beam of length 3m with a central 1m UDL of 20 kN/m. Supports are labeled P and Q. Flexural rigidity EI = 30 x 10^6 N-m^2.
If the flexural rigidity (EI) of the beam is 30×106 N-m230 \times 10^6 \text{ N-m}^2, the maximum slope (expressed in radians) of the deformed beam is
  1. A.
    0.681×10−70.681 \times 10^{-7}
  2. B.
    0.943×10−70.943 \times 10^{-7}
  3. C.
    4.310×10−74.310 \times 10^{-7}
  4. D.
    5.910×10−75.910 \times 10^{-7}
