A reinforced concrete beam of length 5 meters is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 6 kN/m along its entire length. The cross-sectional dimensions of the beam are 300 mm x 500 mm (width x depth), and it is reinforced with 4 bars of diameter 16 mm. The modulus of elasticity of concrete is 30 GPa, and the modulus of elasticity of steel is 200 GPa. Determine the maximum bending stress in the concrete and in the steel reinforcement.
