In 1913 the Woolworth Building in New York City was constructed. It was the tallest building in the world until 1930. On floor 36 a steel beam of square cross section (6 centimeters on a side) and length 10 meters was suddenly loaded with a 2,000 Newton load placed at the center. Using the fact that the Young's Modulus for steel is typically listed as 200 x 10^9 N/m^2, determine the sag at the center point.
