Q1: The beam is made from three boards nailed together as shown. If the moment acting on the cross-section is $M = 600$ N.m, a) determine the maximum bending stress in the beam (Sketch a three-dimensional view of the stress distribution), and b) determine the resultant force the bending stress produces on the top board.
