Answer 1

Answer:

There is a range of beam deflection equations that can be used to calculate a basic value for deflection in different types of beams. Generally, deflection can be calculated by taking the double integral of the Bending Moment Equation, M(x) divided by EI (Young's Modulus x Moment of Inertia).
