800 lb/in.
3) Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for the beam and loading shown to the right. Determine: a) the maximum magnitude of the shear and of the bending moment, and b) the maximum normal stress due to bending. (Hint: you must find the centroid of the trapezoid and calculate I. Ans: y=1.33 in, I=4.063 in^4) Ans.|Vmax|=9280 lb, [Mmax|=28,224 in-lb, σmax = 11.53 ksi
