Question: 2 . ( 9 marks ) A simply supported beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load with density ( w ) as

2.(9 marks) A simply supported beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load with density \( w \) as shown in Fig. (a). The cross-section of the beam is shown in Fig. (b). The maximum allowable shear stress for the material of the beam is 10 MPa .(i) Determine the maximun allowable value of \( w \) that could be sustained by the beam; (ii) determine the value of the minimum transverse shear stress developed in the beam and where the minimum shear stress occurs.
