Prob.1: [4.126]

The couple M is applied to a beam of the

cross section shown in a plane forming an angle
β = 30o with the vertical. Determine the stress
at;
(a) point A, (b) point B, (c) point D.
Locate the N.A.

The couple M is applied to a beam of

the cross section shown in a plane forming
an angle β = 20o with the vertical.
Determine the stress at;
(a) point A, (b) point B, (c) point D.
Locate the N.A.

Prob.3: [4.133]

The couple M acts in a vertical plane

and is applied to a beam oriented as
shown. Determine (a) the angle that the
neutral axis forms with the horizontal, (b)
the maximum tensile stress in the beam.

Prob.4: [4.140]

A rigid circular plate of 125 mm radius

is attached to a solid 150 x 200 mm rectangular
post, with the center of the plate directly above the
center of the post. If a 4 kN force P is applied at E
with θ = 30˚, determine (a) the stress at point A, (b)
the stress at point B, (c) the point where the neutral
axis intersects the line ABD.

Prob.5: [4.144]

A horizontal load P of magnitude 100 kN is

applied to the beam shown. Determine the
largest distance a for which the maximum
tensile stress in the beam does not exceed 75
MPa.
