Question: A simple beam of rectangular cross section (width 4 in., height 10 in.) carries a uniform load of 1200 lb/ft on a span of 12

A simple beam of rectangular cross section (width 4 in., height 10 in.) carries a uniform load of 1200 lb/ft on a span of 12 ft (see figure).
Find the principal stresses (1 and (2 and the maximum shear stress Tmax at a cross section 2 ft from the left-hand support at each of the following locations: (a) the neutral axis, (b) 2 in. above the neutral axis and (c) the top of the beam. (Disregard the direct compressive stresses produced by the uniform load bearing against the top of the beam.)
