PROBLEM (12.99) A 40-kg diver jumps from the position shown in Fig. P12.99 onto the end C of a
diving board. Determine:
(a) The maximum deflection at C.
(b) The factor of safety ns , if maximum stress in the board is limited to max
= 60 MPa.
Given: L = 5a = 2.5 m h = 100 mm E = 14 GPa
SOLUTION
From Eq. (12.64):
