1. Calculate the maximum permissible span length for a 3-in.- diameter solid steel shaft used as a cantilever beam. The maximum deflection due to the weight of the shaft may not exceed 0.2 in.
2. A W10×33 structural steel wide-flange section 10 ft long is used as a cantilever beam supporting a uniformly distributed load of 800 lb/ft
a. Calculate the deflection at the free end.
b. What superimposed uniformly distributed load can be placed on the beam if the allowable deflection is 0.25 in.?
