Deflection of Beams - Rearrange formula [URGENT]
Deflection for a simply supported beam... I calculated the deflection of it to be 9.72mm downwards, but there is a support 6mm from the original position and need to calculate the force on the support...
The original formula for deflection is:
y = - (F x L^3)/(48 x E x I)
where 'x' is just the multiplication symbol.
y = - (F x L^3)/(48 x E x I)
To find the force on the support, I went 9.72-6 = 3.72mm
I substituted 3.72 into the equation above as 'y', now, how do i rearrange the formula to find F?
My attempt:
F = (48 x E x I)/(Y x L^3)
I get 2.212 MPa, this surely can't be right as the original load on top is 80KN. Did I rearrange correctly?
