A rigid horizontal rod of length 2L is fixed to a circular cylinder of radius R as shown in the figure. Vertical forces of magnitude P are applied at the two ends as shown in the figure. The shear modulus for the cylinder is G and the Young’s modulus is E.
The vertical deflection at point A is
1
PL3/(πR4G)
2
PL3/(πR4E)
3
2PL3/(πR4E)
4
4PL3/(πR4G)
