Case 11 -- Deflection (Machinery's Handbook)
  Cantilevered, concentrated load at free end
  (W * L(power 3)) / (3 * E * I) = deflection at free end of shaft
                 
Total Load (W) = Lbs. Max deflection at free end = ( solid shaft)
Length of shaft (L) = inches   (hollow shaft)
Shaft Diameter (D) = inches    
I.D. of Hollow Shaft (d) = inches (optional)      
           
                 
                 
                 
Modulus of Elasticity (E) (steel) Steel Shaft Weight = Lbs. (solid)
Moment of Inertia (I) (for solid shaft)   Lbs. (hollow)
Moment of Inertia (I) (for hollow shaft)  
                 
  do not modify    
W * L(power 3) =    
3 * E * I = (for solid shaft)  
3 * E * I = (for hollow shaft)
