The photo shows a structural assembly designed to support medical equipment in an operating room of a hospital. It is anticipated that this equipment weighs 1 k. Each of the side beams has a cross-sectional area of and moment of inertia of . The ends of these beams are welded to the girders as shown. The assembly is bolted to the side beams. Model one of the side beams, and justify any assumptions you have made. Perform a computer analysis and use the results to draw the moment diagram of one of the side beams. As a partial check of the results, determine the maximum moment in this beam using a classical method such as moment distribution, or use the deflection tables. Neglect the weight of the members, and take .
