Problem 3(40 pts)- The beam below has the cross section given in Problem 2. Please answer the following questions:
1. Draw the V\&M diagrams.
2. Calculate the normal stress, \(\sigma \), at \( x=5.5\mathrm{~m}\) and draw its distribution. Is this where the normal stresses are max or min for the beam? Justify your answer with math.
3. Calculate the shear stress, \(\tau \), at \( x=1\mathrm{~m}\) at locations (1),(2),(3), and (4) defined in Problem 2(location (2) is at the neutral axis) and draw its distribution.
