A cantilever of length 2m is fixed at one end and is supported by a spring of stiffness 5EI/8 at the other end. A load of P is applied at the end as shown in the figure below. If the deflection at the end is given by the equation P/(αEI), then the value of α is ________. (Flexural rigidity of beam is EI)
