Question: 3 . ( 2 5 pts ) A flitch beam consisting of a 2 0 0 mm wide douglas fir beam sandwiched between two A

3.(25pts) A flitch beam consisting of a 200 mm wide douglas fir beam sandwiched between two A36 steel beams, each of width 20mm is shown. The beam experiences an internal \(\mathrm{M}=100\mathrm{kN}-\mathrm{m}\) bending moment about the horizontal axis (as shown).
\( v \)
a. Convert the beam to an equivalent allsteel beam. Show that the equivalent width of "wood as steel equivalent" is approximately 13 mm , giving an equivalent all-steel beam as approximately 53 mm wide total. Give answers to 4 significant figures. b. Convert the beam to an equivalent allwood beam. Show that the equivalent width of "steel as wood equivalent" is approximately 600 mm , giving an equivalent all-wood beam as approximately 800 mm wide total. Give answers to 4 significant figures.
c. Show that the magnitude of the maximum normal stress in the steel is approximately 70 MPa and the maximum normal stress in the wood is approximately 4.6MPa. Give answers to 4 significant figures.
