A fixed-end beam is subjected to a point load at mid-span. The beam has a rectangular cross section (assume that the \(\frac{h}{b}\) ratio is 2) and is made of wood (\( E=11\mathrm{GPa}\)).(Solve this problem by integrating the differential equations of the deflection curve. The beam has constant flexural rigidity EI.)
(a) Find height \( h \)(in mm ) of the cross section if the maximum displacement of the beam is 2.3 mm .
\(\checkmark \mathrm{mm}\)
(b) Calculate the displacement of the beam (in mm ) at the inflection points. (Enter the magnitude.)
Your response differs from the correct answer by more than \(10\%\). Double check your calculations. mm
