Case 2 – Upward Load on Cantilever Span BC  
scene 6 of 7

table

Here is Canvas object wihch demonstrate the problem.

From beam tables, the deflection at B is given by:

and the slope at B is:

Note: The signs for vB and θB are determined by inspection. Since the beam will deflect upward at B, vB is positive. The beam slope will be negative, indicating that the beam axis is oriented in a downward direction for increasing values of x.
