Two simply supported beams with central (mid span) concentrated loads have the following particulars. Compare the slope at the ends.
| Particulars | Beam A | Beam B |
| Length of the beam | 5 m | 10 m |
| EI | EI | 2 EI |
| Value of central concentrated load | 2 kN | 1 kN |
1
Slope of beam A > Slope of beam B
2
Slope of beam A < Slope of beam B
3
Insufficient data to compare the slopes
4
Slope of beam A = Slope of beam B
