General
Distributed load is applied on the free end of a cantilever.
The distributions of displacement and mechanical stress are solved.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

The total load applied on the tip face is 980N (100kgf) which is distributed uniformly on the face.
Tip area: 0.2×0.1 = 0.02 m2
Total load: 980 N
Distributed load: Total load / Tip area = 49000 N/m2(=Pa)

The displacement diagram is shown below by contour. The contour diagram shows the displacement.
The displacement is bigger towards the tip of the bar.
The vectors of the mechanical stress are shown below.
The upper part of the fixed end is getting the tensile stress, whereas the lower part is getting the compression stress.
The external force and reactive force are listed in the table below.
The reactive force at FIX is 980[N] in +Z direction.
The reactive force at LOAD is 9.8e980[N] in -Z direction.
