Question:

If the W \(310 \times 24\) beam is made from steel having an allowable normal stress of \(\sigma_{\text {allow }}=150 \mathrm{MPa}\) and an allowable shear stress of \(\tau_{\text {allow }}=60 \mathrm{MPa}\), determine the maximum cable force \(P\) that can safely be supported by the beam.
