A stepped cantilever beam, made of a material having Young’s modulus E = 200 GPa, is shown in the figure below. The length and the moment of inertia of the beam from point A to B are L1 = 100 mm and I1 = 100 mm4, respectively. The length and the moment of inertia of the beam from point B to C are L2 = 100 mm and I2 = 700 mm4, respectively. A shear force P = 30 N is applied at point A of the beam. The magnitude of the deflection of the beam at point A is ________ mm (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
