A cantilever beam of length L carries a gradually varying load form zero at free and w per unit length at the fixed end. The maximum deflection lies at

A free end
B fixed end
C L/3 sloping side
D none of these

Correct Answer: free end

Reflection of a Pulse at a Free End. ... That is, a pulse with an upward displacement will reflect off the end and return with an upward displacement. Sometimes it is said that the pulse is not inverted. This behavior of non - inversion will always be observed when the end of the medium is free to move.
