    Engineering Captain's bed legs: checking 4x4 timber beam strength

    No, dont worry! that's a highly exadurated maximum weight for if a few people were on there (and practically jumping!) , just to prove that its extra safe!

    Engineering Captain's bed legs: checking 4x4 timber beam strength

    Hello, Thank you! No, not excactly! If you imagine an elevated 3/4 length bed on legs with ladders up to it; a bunk bed without the bottom bunk if you will. Attatched are some pics!

    Engineering Captain's bed legs: checking 4x4 timber beam strength

    Context: I'm trying to prove that legs for a captain's style bed are strong enough Vertical wooden beams= 4x4 inches and 1.8m long Timber grade = C16 load on each beam ( there are 5 identical ones) = 50kg or 490.33N, so combined max weight is 250kg using Mmax=(w x l^2)/8, I got the max moment...
