Chapter 15, Problem 15.33P

For Problems 15.31 through 15.43, use the moment-area method.

15.33 A wood test beam $\text{1}.\text{72}$ in. wide by $\text{1}.\text{75}$ in. deep spans $\text{28}$ in. between simple supports. The beam is deflected $0.0\text{74}$ in. under a $\text{2}00$ -lb load applied at midspan. Compute the modulus of elasticity E.
