38 CHAPTER 1 STRESS

1 FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS

F1–7. The uniform beam is supported by two rods AB
and CD that have cross-sectional areas of 10 mm2 and
15 mm2, respectively. Determine the intensity w of the
distributed load so that the average normal stress in each
rod does not exceed 300 kPa.
F1–10. If the 600-kN force acts through the centroid of the
cross section, determine the location y of the centroid and
the average normal stress developed on the cross section.
Also, sketch the normal stress distribution over the cross
section.
