The deflection of a cantilever beam with UDL over the entire length is given as: V = (wz²)/(24EI)(z² + 6L² - 4Lz), where z = 0 is the fixed end. Now consider the same cantilever, where the UDL only acts on the first half of the beam between the support and the midpoint. What is the deflection of the beam at the free end in terms of w, E, and L?
