In the beam shown below, points A and B are simple supports capable of resisting vertical forces only. Point B has the additional capability to resist horizontal forces as well. For the horizontal beam portion labeled A,B,& :
(a) Draw the free-body diagram, shear-force, and bending-moment diagrams (show all values).
(b) If this beam has a square cross-section of side h, identify the (x, y) coordinate of the point that has the maximum normal stress (note location of origin at A).
(c) For the most ductile grade of 1020 steel available, find the minimum standard value of h, use N=2.
In the beam shown below, points A and B are
