A simply supported beam of length L = 0.8 m carries a force P = 2.5 kN. Find the ratio between the bending stresses in the beam when P is concentrated at a distance A away from the left side of support = 0.3 m and evenly distributed along it.
Added by William B.
Step 1
5 kN at distance A = 0.3 m from the left support - Case 2: Uniformly distributed load with total force P = 2.5 kN over the entire beam length L = 0.8 m Show more…

A cantilever beam of length $L=2 \mathrm{m}$ supports a load $P=8.0 \mathrm{kN}$ (see figure). The beam is made of wood with cross-sectional dimensions $120 \mathrm{mm} \times 200 \mathrm{mm}$ Calculate the shear stresses due to the load $P$ at points located $25 \mathrm{mm}, 50 \mathrm{mm}, 75 \mathrm{mm},$ and $100 \mathrm{mm}$ from the top surface of the beam. From these results, plot a graph showing the distribution of shear stresses from top to bottom of the beam.

A timber beam $A B$ of length $L$ and rectangular cross section carries a uniformly distributed load $w$ and is supported as shown. (a) Show that the ratio $\tau_{m} / \sigma_{m}$ of the maximum values of the shearing and normal stresses in the beam is equal to $2 h / L$, where $h$ and $L$ are, respectively, the depth and the length of the beam. (b) Determine the depth $h$ and the width $b$ of the beam, knowing that $L=5 \mathrm{m}, w=8 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}, \tau_{m}=1.08 \mathrm{MPa},$ and $\sigma_{m}=12 \mathrm{MPa}$
