Our University wants to construct a signal post near the entrance, for which they are in need of a horizontal structural element with one end fixed and other end is free. That is to be made up of flexible composite material.  The maximum allowable load at free end is 750 kN.  The length of the horizontal structural element is 1.5 m. The cross section of the beam is a hollow circular section.  Outer diameter 260 mm with wall thickness of 10  mm.  Find the deflection at the free end and maximum slope in beam by neglecting self-weight of the diving board.  Take Young's Modulus as 110 GP
