From mechanics of materials it is known that for a cantilever beam of constant cross section a static load P applied at end B will cause a deflection δB = PL3/3EI, where L is the length of the beam, E is the modulus of elasticity, and I is the moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area of the beam. Knowing that L = 10 ft, E = 29 x 106 lb/in2, and I = 12.4 in4, determine (a) the equivalent spring constant of the beam, (b) the frequency of vibration of a 520-lb block attached to end B of the same beam.
