simply supported beam with a length L =10 ft and height 7 in. is bent by couples M₀ into a circular arc with downward deflection d at the midpoint. If the curvature of the beam is 0.003 ft21, calculate the deflection, d, at the mid-span of the beam and the longitudinal strain at the bottom fiber given that the distance between the neutral surface and the bottom surface is 3.5 in.
