= Endpoint force derivative of clamped-free beam energy

For the <clamped-free beam under uniform load and endpoint force>, the additional minimized internal energy is
$$
\mathcal E(F)=\frac{F^2L^3}{6A}.
$$
Its <derivative> is the endpoint <displacement> caused by the endpoint <force>:
$$
\frac{d\mathcal E}{dF}=\frac{FL^3}{3A}=h.
$$
