Step 1
Determine the maximum bending moment (M) on the beam. To do this, we need to calculate the total load on the beam. The load is given as 3 kN/m, and the length of the beam is 2.4 m. Therefore, the total load on the beam is 3 kN/m * 2.4 m = 7.2 kN. Next, we need to Show more…

A simply supported wood beam $A B$ with span length $L=4 \mathrm{m}$ carries a uniform load of intensity $q=5.8 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}$ (see figure) (a) Calculate the maximum bending stress $\sigma_{\max }$ due to the load $q$ if the beam has a rectangular cross section with width $b=140 \mathrm{mm}$ and height $h=240 \mathrm{mm}$ (b) Repeat part (a) but use the trapezoidal distributed load shown in the figure part b.
