Question: ( 2 0 pts . ) A 8 f t long 3 ' ' ( wide ) 1 2 ' ' ( tall ) beam

(20 pts.) A 8ft long 3''(wide)12''(tall) beam is subjected to a uniform (edge-to-edge)
distributed load of 1500#ft. The material has a Young's Modulus E=2,000,000. If the
allowed (FOS included) bending stress is 2500 psi, the allowed deflection is L/360 and the
allowed (FOS included) shear stress is 200 psi:
a) Is the beam safe in bending?
b) Is the beam safe in deflection for ?
c) Is the beam safe in shear?
