    Help with Problem Moments: Calculate Steel Beam Deflection

    So x would be where the force is on the beam? So if the force was in the center, and the beam was 50 ft(600in) long, then x = 300in!? F (force)= 6,000lbs E (Modulus of elasticity) = 29,000,000 I (Moment of inertia) = 850 L (length) = 600 in So if I understand this right, then this would...

    Structural Engineering - Deflection

    What's the L mean?! And the 48? Does the length of the beam have no place in the calculation? So \delta = (PL^3)/(48EI) would be: 6000^3 / 48 x 29,000,000 x 850^4 = 0.000000000297261601 ?

    Structural Engineering - Deflection

    I'm not sure the formula to use to calculate the deflection of a beam. Here's the information I have got. Steel beam is 50 feet long. There is a 6,000 pound load in the middle(all other loads are disregarded. The modulus of elasticity is 29,000,000 psi. Moment of inertia is 850 inches^4...

    High School How do you graph y=3x-2 and identify points on the graph without using a prefix?

    So for this x, y chart thing, it'd go something like... [center] | x | y | | 0 | -2| | 2 | 4 | | 4 | 7 | | 5 | 13| And then the second question is kinda like reversing it?? And the / was like and/or type thing. Sorry about that. So either one of those ones could be the one with a...

    High School How do you graph y=3x-2 and identify points on the graph without using a prefix?

    How do you... Draw the graph of y=3x-2 on the grid. Identify at least two points on the graph by their coordinate pairs. Anybody get that?? It's one of those x,y axis grid thingers. And there's a table under it with 8 columns and 2 rows. Kinda like...

    High School Ready Reckoner: What Is It & What Is Its Purpose?

    Ready Reckoner?? Does anyone know what a ready reckoner is and what its purpose is?? Mathematically speaking. It asks me a question about this on my work sheet, but nowhere in the textbook nor in the booklets, does it state what the hell this thing is. Thanx

    High School Solve the Mystery: What is 9 times 7?

    It's like a riddle thinger.. If 9 times 9 is 7 10 times 9 is 9 10 times 8 is 8 8 time 8 is 2 What is 9 times 7 ? It says to "Think mathematically. There is a pattern of calculating involved." Anybody got any idea what this is? What the answer is??
