Problem - A simply supported beam is carrying a distributed and point load as are shown in the figure. The beam has a squared cross section with length a. For this beam
Plot the shear and bending moment diagram.
Find the beam dimension a such that the normal stress in the beam does not exceed 2 MPa.
Based on the value of a found in the previous part of this problem, what is the maximum shear stress in the beam?
