Question: A concentrated load P = 4 k N acts on a cantilever at an angle of 1 5 , as shown. The beam is constructed

A concentrated load P=4kN acts on a cantilever at an angle of 15, as shown. The beam is constructed of a 2024-T4 aluminum alloy having a yield strength yp=290MPa,L=1.5m,t=20mm,c=60mm, and b=80mm. Determine (a) the maximum stress (in MPa) in the beam and (b) whether it would be expected to yield under these conditions (answer yes or no). Also report (c) the angle of the neutral axis (in deg). Neglect the effect of shear in bending and assume that the load acts through the shear center. The centroid of the section is located 27.14 mm from the far left of the section. Take Iy=15.1110-7m4 and Ix=8.9310-7m4.
