Question: P 8 . 2 6 A small aluminum alloy [ E = 7 0 GPa ] tee shape is used as a simply supported beam

P8.26 A small aluminum alloy [E =70 GPa] tee shape is used as a simply supported beam as shown in Figure P8.26a. For this beam, a =160 mm. The crosssectional dimensions (Figure P8.26b) of the tee shape are b =20 mm, d =30 mm, and t =6 mm. After loads are applied to the beam at B, C, and D, a compressive normal strain of 440\mu is measured from a strain gage located at c =8 mm below the topmost edge of the tee stem at section 11. What is the applied load P?
