A support beam is made of steel that has a Young's Modulus of 200 gigapascals [GPa\. The support beam has a square cross-sectional area 3 inches [in by 3 inches in), and is 10 feet [ft| long. The maximum strain the support beam can withstand without breaking is 0.00317 centimeters per centimeter Determine the largest weight that the beam can support, without breaking, in units of newtons [N]. Express your answer using an appropriate SI prefix such that there are only 1,2, or 3 digits shown to the left of the deci place.
