Hello guys,

I am running in to something probably really dumb while doing my construction homework.

I am trying to find the deflection in mm for a IPE160, with a line load of 4,73 kN and a span of 5 meters

L=5 meters
q=4,73 kN
Chosen profile is IPE160
Iy of an IPE160 is 869*10^4 mm^4


When i use (5ql^4)/(384*EI)

=> (5*4,73 * 5000^4) / (384*21000*869*10^4) I get an enormous deflection..
I am probably missing something very simple..
Is there anyone who can help me out?
