The device shown is a playground seesaw. Make a conservative estimate of the maximum weight to which it will be subjected at each end when in use. (Consider contingent situations such as an adult sitting with a child.) Choose a material from Appendix B, and design a cross section for the 4.8-m beam so that it has a factor of safety FS = 4.
