Problem 524
A beam with an S380 × 74 section carries a total uniformly distributed load of 3W and a concentrated load W, as shown in Fig. P-524. Determine W if the flexural stress is limited to 120 MPa.
Problem 516
A timber beam AB, 6 in wide by 10 in deep and 10 ft long, is supported by a guy wire AC in the position shown in Fig. P-516. The beam carries a load, including its own weight, of 500 lb for each foot of its length. Compute the maximum flexural stress at the middle of the beam.
