Multiple choice

The flexural rigidity (EI) of a cantilever beam is assumed to be constant over the length of the beam shown in figure. If a load P and bending moment PL/2 are applied at the free end of the beam then the value of the slope at the free end is

  2. $\frac{PL^2}{EI}$
  3. $\frac{3}{2} \frac{PL^2}{EI}$
  4. $\frac{5}{2} \frac{PL^2}{EI}$
