hello
My question is rather off the usual queries concerning beams, which is maybe why I'm struggling to find a solution. If we suspend a totally rigid beam at its extremities with springs to measure forces, the springs will both indicate q x L /2.
If the beam is supple, it will sag and exert a traction force on springs placed axially at each extremity (see diagram). How will this traction be related to q, L and E ??
