Flexural Stress
Instruction: Select the correct answer for each of the following questions. Mark only one answer for
each item. STRICTLY NO ERAUSRES ALLOWED.
Situation #1
A beam with cross section as shown in Figure 1. carries a uniformly distributed load
of 16 kN/m over its entire length. The maximum flexural stress that the beam can
withstand is 40 MPa.
Situation #2.
A 3-meter long simply supported beam, with cross section as shown in Figure 2. Carries
a uniformly distributed load.
