If a vector is 30 degrees from the horizon and the force of the vector is 150 pounds, what is the x-component of the vector?

If you wanted to make the moment of inertia higher, the best way to do this would be to

If you were standing in the middle of a 2" x 4" beam (the height is 4") across a 20 foot wide ditch, how much would the beam bend? Assume that you weigh 150 pounds and that the modulus of elasticity of the beam is 1.76 x 106 psi.
