Given: The tip deflection and tip slope for a tip loaded cantilever of length L are:
ேయ
ଷாூ and
ேమ
ଶாூ, respectively, where N is the tip force and EI is the flexural rigidity.
A cantilever PQ of rectangular cross-section is subjected to transverse load, F, at
its mid-point. Two cases are considered as shown in the figure. In Case I, the end
Q is free and in Case II, Q is simply supported.
The ratio of the magnitude of the maximum bending stress at P in Case I to that in
Case II is ________ (rounded off to one decimal place).
