Answer to Question #218934 in Mechanical Engineering for Jeff

Question #218934

A horizontal cantilever of uniform section of length I carries
two point loads, W at the free end and 2W at a distance of a
from the free end. Find the maximum deflection due to this
loading.
If the cantilever is a steel tube of circular section 150 mm
external diameter and 9 mm thick and -2.3 m and a=0.8 m,
determine the value of W so that the maximum bending
stress is 165 N/mm and calculate the maximum deflection
for the loading. Take E=2X 10
