Where:
\(\large{ I }\) = moment of inertia
\(\large{ L }\) = span length of the bending member
\(\large{ M }\) = maximum bending moment
\(\large{ R }\) = reaction load at bearing point
\(\large{ V }\) = shear force
\(\large{ w }\) = load per unit length
\(\large{ W }\) = total load from a uniform distribution
\(\large{ x }\) = horizontal distance from reaction to point on beam
\(\large{ \lambda }\) (Greek symbol lambda) = modulus of elasticity
\(\large{ \Delta }\) = deflection or deformation
