Problem

For Problem, use the formula method.

Compute the maximum deflection of a 10-in.-by-14-in. simply supported solid rectangular redwood (S4S) beam. The span length is 15 ft and the beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 1000 lb/ft. The allowable deflection is  of the span length. Is the beam satisfactory?
