Question: 1. Using a finite summation, compute the initial deflection at midspan for the beam in Figure P8.42. Given: E = 3000 kips/in.2. Use 3-ft segments. Assume I = 0.5IG

2. Using a finite summation, compute the initial deflection at point C for the tapered beam in Figure P8.43. E = 24 GPa. Base your analysis on the properties of 0.5IG
