Question: A solid steel beam with a circular cross - section, fixed at its upper end, is subjected to a horizontal force P , as shown

A solid steel beam with a circular cross-section, fixed at its upper end, is subjected to a horizontal force P, as shown in the figure.
Given that the yield stress of the steel is 560 MPa, determine:
a) The maximum value of P that can be applied to the beam, using a safety factor of 2 and applying the von Mises criterion. (Identify the critical sections and calculate the equivalent stress in these sections).
b) Construct the internal force diagrams (shear force, bending moment, and torsional moment) along the beam, ensuring clarity in the representation of the critical points.
