1. A cast iron bracket subject to bending has the cross-section of I-form with unequal
flanges. The dimensions of the section are shown in Fig. 7.18. Find the position of the
neutral axis and moment of inertia of the section about the neutral axis. If the maximum
bending moment on the section is 40
MN mm, determine the maximum
bending stress. What is the nature of
the stress?

2. A cast iron beam is of T-section as shown in

Fig. 7.21. The beam is simply supported on a
span of 8 m. The beam carries a uniformly
distributed load of 1.5 kN/m length on the
entire span. Determine the maximum tensile
and maximum compressive stresses.

3. Three beams have the same length, same allowable bending stress and the same bending
moment. The cross-section of the beams are a square, rectangle with depth twice the
width and a circle. Find the ratios of weights of the circular and the rectangular beams
with respect to square
beams.
