Calculate Cantilever Load







Formula

To calculate the Deflection (L):

\[ L = \frac{P \cdot L}{E \cdot I} \]

What is a Cantilever Load?

A cantilever load is a force that is applied to a structure, typically a beam or a pole, that extends horizontally and is only supported at one end. This type of load creates a bending effect on the structure, causing it to flex and potentially deform or break if the load is too heavy. The amount of load a cantilever can bear depends on the material's strength and the length of the overhang.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ L = \frac{500 \cdot 2}{200 \cdot 10^9 \cdot 0.0001} = \frac{1000}{20 \cdot 10^6} = \frac{1000}{20000000} = 0.00005 \text{ meters} \]

The Deflection is 0.00005 meters.
