Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
The factors that influence the stiffness of a cantilever beam include the material properties, cross-sectional shape, length, and boundary conditions of the beam.

Increase the moment of inertia
The stiffness of a cantilever beam is influenced by factors such as the material properties, cross-sectional shape, length, and the amount of load applied. These factors determine how much the beam will deflect or bend under a given load.
Increasing the spring stiffness will result in a higher natural frequency. This is because a stiffer spring will require more force to displace it, leading to faster oscillations and a higher frequency. Conversely, decreasing the spring stiffness will lower the natural frequency of the system.
The flexural stiffness of a structural beam (E*I/L) is represented as the product of the modulus of elasticity (E) and the second moment of area (I) divided by the length (L) of the member.
Stiffness is defined as the ratio of load per unit deformation.
Stiffness of a structure refers to its ability to resist deformation when subjected to an external load. For example, a steel beam is known for its high stiffness due to its ability to deflect minimally when a load is applied. Stiffer structures typically experience less deformation and are considered more stable and reliable.
Downward deflection in a beam can be caused by various factors such as applied loads, weight of the beam itself, support conditions, and material properties. The beam experiences bending under these factors, resulting in deformation or deflection. Factors such as stiffness, beam geometry, and loading conditions influence the magnitude of the downward deflection.

Moment is the product of force and distance. as the distance of the section of the beam varies form the load the moment occuring at different section are different leading to increase in moment with increase in distance of the section from the load. In contineous or fixed structure the support moments are distributed among the members meeting at the joint as per their relative stiffness so the distribution of support moment is not uniform. Note:- relative stiffness the ratio of moment of inertia to the effective length of the member.
