A 200 pound man stands at the end of a 16 foot diving board


A 200 pound man stands at the end of a 16 foot diving board (point C) with a pin at (A) and a roller located 6.695 ft away from A at point (B). The hollow diving board is made of aluminum (6070-T6) and is 20 inches wide, 2.06 inches tall, and has a wall thickness of 0.1875 inches. If E= 10.15X10^6 psi and the minimum yield strength is 50000psi, determine the max bending stress, deflection of the board, and the safety factor. Also, how much would the diver need to weigh to cause failure of the board?
