The beam will deflect or bend with the maximum deflection at the center = (wl^3)/(48EI). For a steel beam with 2 inch diameter 10 feet (120 in.) long

l = 120 inches

E = 30 x 10^6 psi

I = .784 in^4

w = load lbs.

Deflection in inches at the middle = w x .0015

so 500 lbs would be 500 x .0015 = .75 inches

If your looking for max load before yield: for 1018 cold drawn round bar yield stress is 53700 psi which gives a max load of roughly 1430 lbs which will deflect in the center 2.15 inches. I would not recommend loading it with this much weight as you will have no factor of safety.

What is the effect of bending moment for ship?

The effects of bending moments for ships causes support beams to bend as well due to the stresses of the weight it bares. Over time the weight on the support beams will gradually begin to bend.


When a load is placed on the middle of a horizontal beam supported at each end what does the bottom part of the beam undergo?

When a load is placed in the middle of a horizontal beam supported at each end, the bottom part of the beam undergoes tension. This occurs because the load causes the beam to bend, pulling the bottom fibers apart as the beam flexes. Meanwhile, the top part of the beam experiences compression as it is pushed together. This bending creates a stress distribution across the beam, with tension on the bottom and compression on the top.


Why would bridge engineers choose a arch bridge design over other bridge designs?

Becuase bending moment in the middle of the bridge bending moment is less than ordinary or straight bridge and more strength


What does the designation Universal Column mean?

Universal columns (or beams) are H-shaped steel joists with parallel flanges which are thickened to carry an axial load (or bending load). The "top and bottom" flanges of the Ɪ girder are slightly thicker than the middle.


What is formula for maximum load due to bending of a simply supported beam?

The strength, S, of the beam is Mc/I where M = max moment to fail = PL/4 for load concentrated in the middle of the beam or WL/8 for uniformly distributed load. Here P is the concentrated load, W = distributed load, c = distance to outer fiber from neutral axis and I the area moment of inertia of the beam. L = length Solving for load maximum, P = 4IS/Lc for concentrated center load W = 8IS/Lc for distributed load

Where does the maximum bending moment occur in a simply supported beam?

It depends on the loading conditions of the beam, it will generally occur close to the middle of the span.


How much weight will a 1 inch diameter solid stainless steel rod 9 foot long supported on both ends hold in the middle without bending?

It will bend at any load greater than zero. It is just a question of how much. In your example the rod will bend 0.007 inches under 10 pounds, 0.07 inches under 100 pounds, etc.


How much weight will a four inch tall X 2 inch wide with a one quarter section steel tube five foot long supported on both ends hold in the middle without bending?

That depends... on the composition of the steel !


Why window is placed on the middle of the wall not top or bottom?

Usually windows are at eye level so you can see in or out without bending or stretching.

What is diameter of?

The diameter is the length across the middle of a circle. Half of the diameter is called the radius.


What is the difference of diameter and a radius?

the radius is half of the diameter and radius is from the middle of the circle to the edge, whereas diameter is from one end to the other going through the middle.

Meaning of diameter in a circle?

The diameter of a circle is the length of the circle from one side to the other, going through the middle of the circle. The radius is the measurement of length from the middle of the circle to the perimeter of the circle. This is half of the diameter.
