If the ends support only vertical forces, determine the greatest magnitude of P that can be applied. allow=35MPa,
allow=800kPa.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.The timber beam is to be loaded as shown. (Figure 1)
Figure
1 of 1
A horizontal beam rests on thin horizontal plates at its left end 'A' and right end B. Load P acts vertically downward on top of the beam at its midpoint 4 meters from both ends. The T-shaped cross section of the beam is shown. The vertical portion of the T is a board with a width of 40 millimeters and a height of 120 millimeters. The horizontal portion on top of the vertical portion is a board with a width of 150 millimeters and a height of 30 millimeters.
