𝜃𝐵 - (- 9/𝐸𝐼) = 18/𝐸𝐼
𝜃𝐵 = 9/𝐸𝐼
Theorem 2: The vertical deviation of the tangent at a point (A) on the elastic curve
with respect to the tangent extended from another point (B) equals the “moment” of
the area under the M/EI diagram between the two points (A and B). This moment is
computed about point A (the point on the elastic curve), where the deviation is to be
determined.
𝛥𝐵/𝐴 = (4)( 5.32/𝐸𝐼 )( 1/2 )(2 + 4/3) + (2)( 5.32/𝐸𝐼) (1/2) (2 × 2/3 ) = 42.56/𝐸I
Because beam rotations are generally small, we can assume 𝜃𝐴 ≅ tan(𝜃𝐴)
𝜃𝐴 ≅ (𝛥𝐵/𝐴)/ 6
𝜃𝐴 = 42.56 / 6𝐸𝐼 = 7.09/ 𝐸I

Here the shear V compares with the slope the
moment M compares with the displacement , and the
external load w compares with the M/EI diagram. To
make use of this comparison we will now consider a
beam having the same length as the real beam, but
referred to here as the “conjugate beam,”. The
conjugate beam is “loaded” with the M/EI diagram
derived from the load w on the real beam.
