A W 12 x 35 steel cantilever beam is subjected to an axial load P = 10

Question:

A W 12 x 35 steel cantilever beam is subjected to an axial load P = 10 kips and a transverse load V = 15 kips. The beam has length L = 6 ft. (a) Calculate the principal normal stresses and the maximum shear stress for an element located at C near the fixed support. Neglect the weight of the beam. (b) Repeat Part a for point D which is 4 in. above point C (see figure). See Table F-1(a), Appendix F, for beam properties.
