Dear PhantomJay...i am totally lost with your solution...would you please explain further..
Actually this is not my homework..my company wants to design a gantry and they want me to calculate the maximum allowable force for the beam.
Thanx again..
Homework Statement
Case:
-Simply supported beam with central load. L = 570cm
- I-Beam. Height = 15cm. Base = 15cm. Thickness = 1cm.
- Material = mild steel. Assuming E = 210GPa.
- Safety Factor = 1.5.
- F = 2000N.
With those information i had obtained the I = 16.56x10^6 mm^4...
