(Civil eng.) The maximum load that can be placed at the end of a symmetrical wooden beam, such as the rectangular beam shown in Figure 2.20, can be calculated as the following:
L is the maximum weight in lbs of the load placed on the beam.
S is the stress in lbs/in2.
I is the beam’s rectangular moment of inertia in units of in4.
d is the distance in inches that the load is placed from the fixed end of the beam (the
“moment arm”).
c is one-half the height in inches of the symmetrical beam.
For a 2” × 4” wooden beam, the rectangular moment of inertia is given by this formula:
a. Using this information, design, write, compile, and run a C++
maximum load in lbs that can be placed at the end of an 8-foot
the stress on the fixed end is
b. Use the program developed in Exercise 9a to determine the maximum load in lbs that can be placed at the end of a 3” × 6” wooden beam so that the stress on the fixed end is

- (Automotive) a. An automobile engine’s performance can be determined by monitoring its rotations per minute (rpm). Determine the conversion factors that can be used to convert rpm to frequency in hertz (Hz), given that 1rotation=1cycle,1minute=60seconds,and1Hz=1cycle/sec. b. Using the conversion factors you determined in Exercise 7a, convert 2000 rpm into hertz.arrow_forward(Mechanics) The deflection at any point along the centerline of a cantilevered beam, such as the one used for a balcony (see Figure 5.15), when a load is distributed evenly along the beam is given by this formula: d=wx224EI(x2+6l24lx) d is the deflection at location x (ft). xisthedistancefromthesecuredend( ft).wistheweightplacedattheendofthebeam( lbs/ft).listhebeamlength( ft).

For the beam shown in Figure 5.15, the second moment of inertia is determined as follows: l=bh312 b is the beam’s base. h is the beam’s height. Using these formulas, write, compile, and run a C++ program that determines and displays a table of the deflection for a cantilevered pine beam at half-foot increments along its length, using the following data: w=200lbs/ftl=3ftE=187.2106lb/ft2b=.2fth=.3ftarrow_forward5.
