A cantilever beam AB of length L = 6 ft is constructed of a W 8 x

Question:

A cantilever beam AB of length L = 6 ft is constructed of a W 8 x 21 wide-flange section (see figure). A weight W = 1500 lb falls through a height h = 0.25 in. onto the end of the beam.
A cantilever beam AB of length L = 6 ft

Calculate the maximum deflection δmax of the end of the beam and the maximum bending stress σmax due to the falling weight. (Assume E = 30 x 106 psi.)
