Calculate the maximum deflection of the following beam in millimetres (mm). Assume the beam is made of steel with E = 200 000 MPa

Please write your answer to 2 decimal places, do not include units in your answer and consider a downwards deflection to be positive.

The formula for the deflection at the tip of a cantilever beam δ = PL3/3EI where a positive deflection here indicates a downwards deflection. 

Cantilever - 1

The beam shown (dimensions in mm) has a yield stress equal to 335MPa.  

Based on using the bending stress formula σ = My/I, what is the maximum moment the beam can carry assuming the beam is bending about the horizontal axis?

Where is the exact location of the maximum tension bending stress for the following beam, assuming the BMD is drawn to scale and the cross section is symmetrical?

Remember the positive axis for beam bending is vertically down down and a positive moment equates  to the beam have a sagging/concave deflected shape while a negative moment equates to the beam have a hogging deflected shape.
