A cantilever beam, 60 mm wide by 200 mm high and 5 m long carries a load that varies uniformly from zero at the free end to 1 kN/m at the wall. (a) Compute the magnitude and location of the maximum shear stress. (b) Determine the type and magnitude of the shear stress in a fiber 40 mm from the top of the beam at a section 3 m from the free end.

4. A wooden beam is 150 mm wide by 300 mm deep. The beam is 8 m long which is simply supported at the left end and simply supported 2 m from the right end. It is loaded with a concentrated load P 3m from the left support and a uniformly distributed load on the overhanging and of two meters. If the maximum shearing stress is 1.2 MPa, find the maximum values of w and P that can be applied simultaneousy.
Solution: Reactions: RA(6) = 3P 2w(1) RA = 0.5P 1/3w RB(6) =3P + 2w(7) RB = 0.5P + 14/6(w)
5. A wooden beam is 150 mm wide by 300 mm deep. The beam is simply supported at the left end and is simply supported x m from the right end. It is loaded with a concentrated load P 3 m from the left support and a uniformly distributed load equal to 10 kN/m on the overhanging end of x meters. If the maximum shearing stress is 2 MPa, find the maximum values of x and P that can be applied simultaneously.
6. A rectangular beam 120 mm wide by 400 mm deep is loaded with a uniformly distributed load over its entire length and a concentrated load P, 1 m from the right support. The beam is simply supported over a span of 5 m. if w = 3 kN/m, find P to cause a maximum bending stress of 1 MPa.
