Question: A uniform load with intensity q = 2 2 kN / m acts on the entire beam, and a concentrated load P = 5 0

A uniform load with intensity q=22kN/m acts on the entire beam, and a concentrated load P=50kN acts 2.5m away from the left support point. The uniform distribution load q also includes the weight of the beam. The beam is made by bonding multiple layers of wooden boards and has a cross section with a width b=220mm and a height h=700mm.
a) Find the maximum tensile and compressive stress in the beam due to the bend.
b) Find the maximum allowable load value, P, if the load q remains unchanged and the allowable vertical stress at tension and compression is 1875 psi.
A uniform load with intensity q = 2 2 kN / m acts
