Need help determining strength of aluminum rod please.

Jan 19, 2011 2 Replies

I need to know how much weight a =BD=94 aluminum rod will support. The rod= is T-6061-T6 and is 18=94 long. It will be support by the first 3=94 in a = fixture. How much weight can I put on the end before it bends?


Round rod? The 3" is very rigidly held, but will not cut into the bottom "fibers" of the rod?
