A cantilever shaft having 50 mm diameter and a length of 300 mm has a disc of mass 100 kg at its free end. The Young’s modulus for the shaft material is 200 GN/m^3. Determine the static deflection of the shaft in mm.

(a) 0.147

(b) 0.213

(c) 0.132

(d) 0.112

I got this question during an online interview.

This is a very interesting question from Natural Frequency of Free Transverse Vibrations topic in section Longitudinal and Transverse Vibrations of Machine Dynamics

Right option is (a) 0.147

The explanation is: We know that deflection is given by the relation:

Wl^3/3E.I

W = 100xg, l=0.3m, I = I = 0.3×10^-6 m^4

substituting values we get d = 0.147mm.
