Question

A beam ABC with an overhang from B to C supports a uniform load of 200 lb/ft throughout its length (see . The beam is a channel section with dimensions as shown in the figure. The moment of inertia about the x axis (the neutral axis) equals 8.13 in.4 Calculate the maximum tensile stress sigmat and maximum compressive stress sigma c due to the uniform load. Find required span length a that results in the 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 = 18 ft remains unchanged.
