The following statements are related to bending of beams:

$${\rm I}.$$ The slope of the bending moment diagram is equal to the shear force.
$${\rm II}.$$ The slope of the shear force diagram is equal to the load intensity.
$${\rm III}.$$ The slope of the curvature is equal to the flexural rotation.
$${\rm IV}.$$ The second derivative of the deflection is equal to the curvature.

The only FALSE statements is

$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$$${\rm I}$$

$${\rm IV}$$

A simply supported beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of intensity $$w$$ per unit length. On half of the span from one end. The length of the span and the flexural stiffness are denoted as/and $$EI$$, respectively. The deflection at mid-span of the beam is

$${5 \over {6144}}{{w{\ell ^4}} \over {EI}}$$

$${5 \over {768}}{{w{\ell ^4}} \over {EI}}$$

$${5 \over {384}}{{w{\ell ^4}} \over {EI}}$$

$${5 \over {192}}{{w{\ell ^4}} \over {EI}}$$
