Question 86
XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A cantilever beam has a span of 1 m and carries a uniformly distributed load of
N/m over a portion as shown. A force
N acts at a distance
from the fixed end. The distance
is such that the bending moment at the fixed end is zero. The beam has a rectangular cross-section of depth 20 mm and width 24 mm. For this loading, the magnitude of the maximum bending stress in the beam in MPa is

______________ (round off to the nearest integer)
