The point load deflection $($D$)$ of a beam is $D=\frac{P^3}{48EI}.$

Note: Deflection is simply a measurement of the amount of bend in a beam.

$D=$ deflection measured in inches $P=$ weight on the beam measured in pounds,

$L=$ length of the beam measured in inches, $E=$ elasticity of the beam measured in

pounds per square inch $($PSI$),$ and I $=$ moment of inertia of the beam measured in

inches ${?}^4.$

Find the deflection of a beam rounded to one decimal place if $L=216,P=4500,$
