Question: 5 . 6 - 1 6 A small balcony constructed of wood is supported by three identical cantilever beams ( see figure ) . Each

5.6-16 A small balcony constructed of wood is supported by three identical cantilever beams (see figure). Each beam has length L1=2.1m, width b, and height h=4b3. The dimensions of the balcony floor are L1L2, where L2=2.5m. The design load is 5.5 kPa acting over the entire floor area. (This load accounts for all loads except the weights of the cantilever beams, which have a weight density =5.5kNm3.) The allowable bending stress in the cantilevers is 15 MPa .
Assuming that the middle cantilever supports 50% of the load and each outer cantilever supports 25% of the load, determine the required dimensions b and h.
