scene 1 of 9
Diagram shows an “I” bar consisting of three sections, 1, 2 and 3. The section 1 on top is horizontal with a length of 3.0 inches and thickness 0.5 inches. The section 2 is vertical and has a height of 6.5 inches and thickness 0.5 inches. The section 3 is horizontal and has a length of 6.0 inches and thickness 1.0 inches. The centroid is at the origin of the x y axes on the vertical section 2 close to the bottom.

The cross section of a beam is a flanged shape with the dimensions shown.

The diagram shows a circular cylinder with the force T acting in the opposite directions at both the ends.

A bending moment of M = +1,700 lb-ft is applied to the cross section such that the top of the shape is compressed and the bottom is stretched.

Compute the maximum tension stress and the maximum compression stress on the cross section.
