### Problem Statement

**a) Simply Supported Beam Scenario:**

A steel 4 X 4 X 0.25-inch square tube (moment of inertia \(I = 8.215 \, \text{in}^4\)) is used as a simply supported beam. A 100-pound weight is dropped from a height of 24 inches onto the beam at mid-span. The task is to determine the maximum stress in the beam. The modulus of elasticity \(E\) is given as \(29 \times 10^6 \, \text{psi}\).

**Accompanying Diagram:**

- A simply supported beam with fixed ends.
- A 100 lb weight is shown being dropped from a height of 24 inches exactly at the mid-span.
- The beam spans a distance of 8 feet.

**b) Beam with Spring Supports Scenario:**

Instead of fixed supports, the beam is supported by springs at both ends. Calculate the maximum stress in the beam when the 100-pound weight is dropped from a height of 24 inches, using the same beam properties as in part a).

**Accompanying Diagram:**

- A beam with spring supports instead of fixed ends.
- The springs have a stiffness of \(k = 200 \, \text{lb/in}\).
- The same 100 lb weight is shown being dropped from a height of 24 inches at mid-span.
- The beam also spans a distance of 8 feet.

The two diagrams depict different support conditions for the beam, each affecting how the beam will respond when the weight is applied.

### Objective

Calculate and compare the maximum stress experienced by the beam under each scenario using the given conditions and properties.
