Question: ( 2 points ) Consider a beam ( problem 5 . 3 4 from textbook ) with the following: The bar is made from 6

(2 points) Consider a beam (problem 5.34 from textbook) with the following:
The bar is made from 6061-T6 Aluminum with E=9,990ksi and G=3,770ksi.
The bar has a rectangular cross-section (k=1.2) with height h=4 in and width
w=2 in, resulting in area A=8in2 and moment of Inertia Ix=10.667in4.
The bar has length L=5ft
The distributed load increases linearly from 0 at each end to a peak value of
Wmax=180lbft in the middle.
Determine the deflection at the center of the beam (in)
a. Including transverse shear (1 point)
b. Neglecting transverse shear (1 point)
( 2 points ) Consider a beam ( problem 5 . 3 4
