I. BEAM IN BENDING Examine the simply supported beam AB of length 2L having the Young $ modulus E and symmetric hollow rectangular section (see Figure 1) The beam is subjected to distributed load q, a moment Mo and concentrated load P. Given that: L-2m; 9 -2 kN/m; P=8 kN, Mo-4 kNm, b=8 cm, h=10 cm; d = 5 cm; E-200 GPa
