From basic mechanics of materials, in the derivation of the bending stresses, it is found that the radius of curvature of the neutral axis, ρ, is given by ρ = E I/M. Find the x and y coordinates of the center of curvature corresponding to the place where the beam is bent the most, for each beam shown in the figure. The beams are both made of Douglas fir (see Table A–5) and have rectangular sections.
