Three identical beams are connected in parallel. If the total deflection experienced by the system under a load P is δtotal, which of the following relations is true considering δ is the deflection of one beam?
1
\(\delta_{\text{total}} = \frac{3}{\delta}\)
2
\(\delta_{\text{total}} = \delta\)
3
\(\delta_{\text{total}} = 3\delta\)
4
\(\delta_{\text{total}} = \frac{\delta}{3}\)
