A simply supported beam as illustrated in the figure mid-span with P = 340 N and the deflection of the beam at the point of loading is measured at 16.12 mm, E=200GPa. (a) Calculate the mid-span deflection using the elastic formula. (b) Find the error in the calculated deflection value relative to the measured deflection. (c) Comment on your results in part (b). For example, if we don?t have perfect agreement between the theory and experiment, can we still use the theory for design purposes? How? (d) Calculate the maximum normal stress in the beam at the mid-span
