A cantilever beam is loaded vertically by a vertical end-load, P = 250 N, and a uniform horizontal load, w = 1.0 kN/m. All loads are applied at the shear center. The beam is made of aluminum with E70 000 MPa. L = 1.00 m 50 mm y Figure 1: System, loading, and cross section definition. 50 mm 100 mm 1. Collect section properties from Assignment #1 2. Find the deflection of the end point (all components). Provide values for the (i) vertical and (ii) the horizontal components of deflection, as well as components in principal directions and the absolute value of deflection (in the direction of maximum deflection). Hints: Make sure to work in the principal directions of the section to avoid coupling of the two directions.
