The document discusses calculating the deflection of a beam due to a uniformly distributed load and a point load at the free end. It states the formulas for calculating the deflection due to each load separately and shows that by setting their sum equal to zero and solving for the point load, the total deflection when both loads are present can be determined as 3/8wl.
