Homework Statement
A beam has a solid square cross section of 100mm and is simply supported by two supports 3m apart. Calculate the dead load that can be safely supported when applied to the middle of the beam.
Homework Equations
Dead Load= volume * weight of material
The Attempt at a Solution
A=100*100=10000 mm2=0,001m2
V=0,001*3=0,003 m3
Dead Load = 0,003 m3*24 KN/m3=0,072*1000= 72 N ?
Am I right with my calculations?? Many thanks:P
