A cantilever beam built up from two channel shapes, each C 200 × 17.1, and of length L supports an inclined load P at its free end (see figure).
Determine the orientation of the neutral axis and calculate the maximum tensile stress σmax due to the load P. Data for the beam are as follows: L= 4.5 m, P = 500 N, and α = 30°.
