Question: 6 . 2 - 5 A simple beam on a 1 2 ft span supports a uniform load of intensity 6 0 0 I b

6.2-5 A simple beam on a 12 ft span supports a uniform load of intensity 600Ibft(see figure). The beam consists of a wood member (4in.11.5in. in cross section) that is reinforced by 0.25in.thick steel plates on top and bottom. The moduli of elasticity for the steel and wood are Es=30106psi and Ew=1.5106psi, respectively.
Calculate the maximum bending stresses s in the steel plates and w in the wood member due to the uniform load.
