A 6 m long simply-supported beam is prestressed as shown in the figure.
The beam carries a uniformly distributed load of 6 kN/m over its entire span.
If the effective flexural rigidity EI = 2 ร 104 kNm2 and the effective prestressing force is 200 kN,
the net increase in length of the prestressing cable (in mm, up to two decimal places) is _______.

the net increase in length of the prestressing cable (in mm, up to two decimal places) is _______.
Correct : 0.10 to 0.12
