Homework Exercise
A steel plate of width, w=0.25m, of length L=1m, and of specific weight ρ=7.9x10³kg/m³ is hung vertically from the ceiling. A force, F=100N is applied as shown in the figure below. The thickness is 1mm. 
The plate is so thin that there is no significant stress variation through the thickness. Assume τxy=0 at each point. Please determine if the FEM solution given to you is correct. Justify your answer through quantitative reasoning.
