6. A rectangular beam on supports has bricks piled uniformly along its length such that there is a total weight of wo brick force per unit length along the length (see Fig. 2). In terms of w0, the length of the beam L, the height and width of beam h and b, respectively,
(a) Determine the maximum bending stress and describe/show its location in the beam.
(b) Determine the maximum shearing stress and describe/show its location in the beam
(c) Find the ratio of the maximum bending stress to the maximum shearing stress.
(d)If this beam were to. fail due to a maximum shearing stress critarion, where would happen? Note that all beams have an aspect ratio Lh>10.
