Beam Deflection — Problem 3

Civil Engineering · Statics & Mechanics

Estimated Grade: 80 / 100
8 pts

Incorrect free body diagram — reaction forces at pin support missing horizontal component

5 pts

Unit inconsistency — mixed kN and N in moment summation

4 pts

Assumed beam is weightless without stating it — unsupported assumption

3 pts

Deflection formula applied incorrectly — boundary condition for fixed end not satisfied

Correct approach & setup — moment equations properly applied at supports.

Before You Submit, Know What's Wrong

See the difference between submitting blind and submitting after an EngineerCalc review.

Without EngineerCalc

ΣFx = 0: Ax = 0

ΣFy = 0: Ay + By = 500 N

ΣM_A = 0: By(4m) = 500(2m)

By = 250 N, Ay = 250 N

δ_max = PL³/48EI = 0.0023 m

What you think you'll get:

100 / 100

What actually happens:

− 8 pts: Missing horizontal reaction component at pin

− 5 pts: Deflection formula used for midpoint load, not distributed

After EngineerCalc Review

ΣFx = 0: Ax = 0 ✓

ΣFy = 0: Ay + By = 500 N ✓

ΣM_A = 0: By(4m) = 500(2m)

By = 250 N, Ay = 250 N ✓

⚠ Pin support requires Ax — re-check horizontal equilibrium

⚠ Use distributed load formula: 5wL⁴/384EI

Issues caught before grading:

Top issues likely to lose points

  • Entropy calculation missing irreversibility term
  • State 2 enthalpy read from wrong table column
  • Efficiency formula applied for isothermal, not adiabatic process

What students are saying

Trusted by engineering students across disciplines.

"I submitted a thermodynamics problem set with a unit conversion error I'd been staring at for an hour. EngineerCalc caught it in seconds. Saved my grade."

Aisha T.

Mechanical Engineering, Junior

"The feedback on my beam deflection calculations was incredibly detailed — flagged an incorrect assumption in my boundary conditions that my TA missed too."

Marcus R.

Civil Engineering, Senior

"I was skeptical at first but it actually understands circuit analysis. Caught a sign error in my node voltage equations and explained exactly why it was wrong."

Priya S.

Electrical Engineering, Sophomore

"Using it before every problem set submission now. The methodology check is the best part — it tells you if your approach is off before you waste time on the math."

Daniel K.

Chemical Engineering, Junior

"Ran my stress analysis through it and it flagged that I hadn't accounted for factor of safety. Simple thing but would've cost me points. Really useful tool."

Sofia L.

Aerospace Engineering, Senior

"Helped me understand where my statics free body diagram went wrong. Doesn't just say 'incorrect' — it walks you through the reasoning. Actually educational."

James W.

Mechanical Engineering, Sophomore
