So, how would I set this problem up?

We're asked to determine the deflection of a beam location for a 2000N load. However, the force is directed up the corner NOT centroid. In other words, at beam corner up through the side wall. Kind of like a ledge holding a flower pot.

Given load=2000N, on the tip of a 1m beam. Beam dimensions are H=80mm B=W=40mm and t=thickness of 1.5mm.

  • Beam deflection at corner through centroid?

    Another way to describe the picture is that the beam is cocked to one side by 15 degrees and the load almost at one corner [maybe width*cos(15)] aiming to the diagonal corner. Given load=2000N, on the tip of a 1m beam.
