Question:medium

A simply supported beam is under a uniformly distributed load (UDL) along the full span. The mid-span deflection is measured as 24 mm. If the length and depth of the beam is doubled while keeping other parameters unchanged, the mid-span deflection is _______ mm.

Show Hint

In beam deflection problems, remember that the deflection is proportional to the length raised to the fourth power and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia, which is proportional to the cube of the depth for a rectangular cross-section.
