A beam with a rectangular cross section of dimensions a x 1.5a is made from a brittle material as seen
in the figure below. The ultimate strengths in tension and compression are TU =290 MPa and CU =520
MPa, respectively. The beam is subjected to a bending moment, M =12 kN-m and an axial compressive
force, P =55 kN. Use the Mohr Failure Criterion and a safety factor of 2 to determine the dimensions of
the beams cross section in mm. NOT DRAWN TO SCALE
