Asimply supported beam abc of length l has ab of length hl and second moment of area / and bc of length hl and second moment of area i2. determine the strain energy stored in the beam when it is subject to a vertical load f at its midpoint and the consequential central deflection.

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.
