Question

A block, having a mass of 1 kg, falls 100 mm high and collides with the middle of a wooden beam simply supported, being 50 mm wide, 25 mm high and 1 m length. Assuming that the beam elastically absorbs eight tenths of the energy and considering the wood's modulus of elasticity as 10 GPa, determine:

(a) The equivalent static load due to the impact, Fe;

(b) The maximum deflection due to the falling mass;
