Thanks C2it and BigInch!
C2it, I did the same thing as your first formula before and it did give me a more reasonable number. So I will stick with that! Thanks! :)
Hello,
I was asked to figure out the amount of deflection in a pipe for two different lift contact points - with the majority of the load lift from the center and then with the load lifted from one end.
Originally I thought this would be a quick calculation where I could pull the equations...
