Two beams PQ (fixed at P and with roller support at Q, as shown in Figure I, which allows vertical movement) and XZ (with a hinge at Y) are shown in Figures I and II respectively. The spans of PQ and XZ are L and 2L respectively. Both the beams are under the action of uniformly distributed load (W) and have the same flexural stiffness, EI (where E and I respectively denote modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia about the axis of bending). Let the maximum deflection and maximum rotation be and
, respectively, in the case of beam PQ and the corresponding quantities for the beam XZ be
and
, respectively. [2016]
