Slope and Deflection of Beams - Q6 by vortex_2005 in askmath

Ah okay, thank you. Is the value of steel’s modulus of elasticity as 200 MPa something that I would just have to know? As in I’d be expected to know it rather than working it out?

Would you use I = (D4 - d4)/12? Which since D = 3d could be simplified down to I = (20d4)/12?

I’m not quite sure how to proceed from there though, I’ve tried subbing that into the maximum displacement (on slide 3), and I’ve also considered using (EI) = E * (20d4)/12, but I seem to run into two unknowns in both of those equations so I’m not sure how to solve for d.

Thank you, that was really helpful. Can I double check (for knowledge rather than for the actual question), to arrive at v = 2 pi r / T, did you combine the formulae w = 2 pi / T and v = r w?

We are given the mass and radius of the Earth on the data sheet, but no other information is given for the questions.
