Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A wooden beam is 10 ft long and carries a central load of 600 lbs. Calculate the maximum deflection using appropriate flexural formulas.
💡 Hint: Remember the necessary constants for dimensions and material properties.
Question 2
Given a beam made of steel with a modulus of elasticity of 29,000 ksi. If the moment of inertia is 200 in^4, determine how much it deflects with a central load of 3000 lbs.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert units appropriately.
