A wooden bar dimensions are 2.5 in by 5.5 in by 10 ft. its modulus of elasticity is 300,000 psi. What will be the maximum deflection (δmax) of the bar if it is placed on joist orientation on two supports at its two ends and a load of 300lb is placed on its center. (I NEED THE ANSWERS FAST!)

I'm having some difficulty seeing the diagram clearly.but the question says there's a net inward force on the object.so we know right away,  from newton's 2nd law of motion, thatthat baby is accelerating.  it doesn't even matter which way thenet force is pointing.  if there's any net force, then either theobject's speed or else its direction must be changing.
