Deflection of a Diving Board

​
mass of woman (kg)
60
distance of woman from wall (m)
3
board width (m)
0.5
board thickness (m)
0.05
In this Demonstration, a woman stands on a diving board that is anchored to the wall on the left. Use the sliders to set the mass of the woman, her distance from the left wall, the board width and the board thickness. The deflection from horizontal is shown on the diagram at the location where the woman is standing. Assume that the diving board is weightless, so the length of the board does not affect deflection.
