A rectangular beam undergoing pure bending has a cross section with 100mm width and 300mm

height as shown below. At a certain section of the beam, the maximum flexural stress is 10 MPa.
The entire beam remains in the linear elastic region and is homogeneous. The plane of bending is
about the x-axis.

Determine the maximum moment that the beam can support at that section.

Question 3
A hollow rectangular beam undergoing pure bending has a cross section as shown below. The entire
beam remains in the linear elastic region and is homogeneous. At this cross section, the beam
experiences a bending moment of 7300 N-m that causes compression at the top of the beam and
tension at the bottom of the beam. The plane of bending is about the x-axis.

Determine the flexural stress of the beam at points A and B.
