Dimensions and Loads: Problem Statement: An 6061 wrought aluminum beam is loaded and supported as shown. Find the following, and neglecting the effect of self-weight. (a) The deflection of the beam midway between the supports. (b) The maximum deflection between the supports. (c) The location of the maximum deflection between the supports. (d) The deflection of the beam at point $A$. (e) The deflection of the beam at point $E$. (f) The factor of safety against yielding for the beams maximum flexural stress. Answers: (Denote upward deflections with positive values, and downward deflections with negative values. Denote positive slopes with positive values and negative slopes with negative values.) (a) $y_{BD?\mathrm{mid}\mathrm{point}}=$ (b) $y_{\max }=$ (c) $x_{y_{\max }}=$ (d) $y_A=$ (e) $y_E=$ (f) $FS=$ be sure to include units with your answers
