Find the maximum stress in the beam

Reference no: EM131015686

A beam of rectangular cross section 200 mm deep and 100 mm wide. If the beam is 3m long, simply supported at either end and carries point loads at 1m from the left end 5kN and 1m from the right end 10kN. Now I think I have worked out the maximum bending moment to be 8.4kNm at 2m from the left hand end correctly.

I now need to find (a) the maximum stress in the beam (b) draw a sketch graph of the stress distribution through the thickness of the beam indicating which are tensile and compressive.
