[FLEXURE FORMULA]
A member has a triangular cross section shown. If a moment of M=800 Ibft is applied to the cross section around the neutral axis, determine the maximum tensile and compressive bending stresses in the member.
To find the maximum tensile bending and compressive bending stress, you need to determine the distance from the neutral axis to the top and bottom surface. For the specified applied moment, the top surface is the location of the maximum compressive stress, and the bottom surface is the location of the maximum tensile stress.
