h2. Problem Specification

Consider an aluminum beam that is clamped at one end, with the following dimensions.

|| Length | 4 m ||
|| Width | 0.346 m ||
|| Height | 0.346 m ||

The aluminum used for the beam has the following material properties.

|| Density | 2,700 kg/m^3 ||
|| Youngs Modulus | 70x10^9 Pa ||
|| Poisson Ratio | 0.35 ||
Using ANSYS Workbench find the first six natural frequencies of the beam.
