# Cantilever plate under its own weight The 10 by 2 by 0.2 plate is clamped at ``x = 0`` and loaded only by ``hm.inertial_load`` at ``g = 9.81`` downward, with density ``rho = 1``. For the beam strip the line load is ``q = rho g H W``. The computed reference is the Euler--Bernoulli tip value ``q L**4 / (8 E I)`` plus the Timoshenko shear term ``q L**2 / (2 k G A)`` -- the same closed form as ``ex_cantilever_uniform_pressure``, reached through the structure's mass instead of an applied pressure. ```python """Cantilever plate under its own weight The 10 by 2 by 0.2 plate is clamped at ``x = 0`` and loaded only by ``hm.inertial_load`` at ``g = 9.81`` downward, with density ``rho = 1``.
