P15.18 The beam shown in Figure P15.18/19 spans a distance L = 30 in., and its cross-sectional dimensions are b = 1.0 in. and d = 4.0 in. A load P = 12,000 lb is applied at midspan. Point K is located at a distance a = 6 in. from the roller support at C. Calculate the maximum compressive normal stress at point K for the follow- ing values of k: (a) k = 1.5 in. (b) k = 2.0 in. (c) k = 2.5 in.

A cantilever beam, 60 mm wide by 200 mm high and 6 m long, carries a load that varies uniformly from zero at the free end to 1000 N/m at the wall. (a)Compute the magnitude and location of the maximum flexural stress. (b)Determine the type and magnitude of the stress in a fiber 40 mm from the top of the beam at a section 3 m from the free end. (Illustrate and solve this problem using stresses in beams)

A beam $A B C$ with an overhang from $B$ to $C$ supports a uniform load of $3 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}$ throughout its length (see figure). The beam is a channel section with dimensions as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about the $z$ axis (the neutral axis) equals $210 \mathrm{cm}^{4}$ (a) Calculate the maximum tensile stress $\sigma_{t}$ and $\max$ imum compressive stress $\sigma_{c}$ due to the uniform load. (b) Find required span length $a$ that results in the ratio of larger to smaller compressive stress being equal to the ratio of larger to smaller tensile stress for the beam. Assume that the total length $L=a+b=6 \mathrm{m}$ remains unchanged.
