Problem $1$: A $6,000$ lb load is applied to a wooden plank at location B$.$ The plank is simply supported by a ledge at $\backslash ($ A $\backslash )$ and a vertical member at location $\backslash ($ C $\backslash ).$ Determine the average compressive $($bearing$)$ stress at locations A$,$ B $\backslash$& C$.$

Make a sketch of the 'top view' of the assembly to better visualize the problem. Be sure to pay close attention to the dimensions. $($Ans: $\backslash (\backslash$sigma$\_\{\backslash$mathrm$\{$A$\}\}=-100\backslash$mathrm$\{$psi$\}\backslash ))$
