GIVEN:

A steel inverted$-$tee shape is used as a boom for a wall bracket jib crane that can lift loads of up to $5$ KN $.$ The Boom is pinned to the wall at A$.$ At point B$,$ the boom is supported by steel rod BC$.$ The pin at A is located on the centroidal axis of the inverted tee, but at B $,$ the steel rod is connected to the tee $65$ mm above the centroidal axis.

FIND:

Determine the normal stress at point H $,$ located on the topmost edge of the inverted tee, $1\mathrm{.}0$ m from point A$.$
