Problem 1: A simple rectangular beam supports three loads as shown. a) Draw the load distribution \( (\mathrm{q}) \), shear force \( (\mathrm{V}) \) and bending moment \( (\mathrm{M}) \) diagrams. b) Determine the location of the maximum bending stress. c) What is the maximum hendinc etrace? lem 2: Repeat problem 1 but replace the rectangular beam with an I beam with cross-sectional dimension shown below, a) What is the maximum bending stress? b) What is the profile of the transverse shear stress? (Hint, there are 4 locations of interest for the transverse shear stress: at the neutral axis, at the surface, and on either side where the thin web meets the wide flange) c) Determine the maximum shear stress in the beam.
