Problem 3: The below WT8 x 25 structural steel cantilever beam (E = 29 Mpsi) is externally loaded as shown (400 lb/ft distributed load and a 2000 ft-lbf moment at Station C). Include the weight of the beam in ALL considerations (Hint: the above beam designation specifies the distributed weight of the beam as 25 lb/ft of length) y 12 ft 5 ft 400 lb/ft A B C -X T End View 2000 ft-lb? Required: a. (15) Construct and properly label the beam Shear and Moment diagrams. Be certain to indicate all minimum and maximum values. b. (25) Calculate the deflection at Station B (5 ft. from the left end) clearly indicating the sign of this deflection (note the above coordinate system). Use the "Deflection by Superposition" method.
