Question: A 6 0 0 lb load is hung from one of the joists. The beam is cantilevered at one end. Use E = 1 .

A 600 lb load is hung from one of the joists. The beam is cantilevered at one end. Use E=1.6e6 psi. Use tabulated solutions to:
A. Determine the maximum deflection of the joist due to this load (with signs),
B. the location of the maximum deflection (label) and
C. Draw the deflection curve (label interesting points on the curve)[Hint: identify straight and curved sections and deflection at the three points of interest].
D. If you must reduce the maximum deffection by 50%, what would you do and why? [Bonus: Are there multiple things you can do?]
