Determine maximum bending stresses

Several steps are required to solve this problem:

1. Consider equilibrium to determine the beam reactions at the pin and at the roller.

2. Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam. These diagrams are needed to determine the maximum positive and negative bending moments.

3. Use the flexure formula to compute the bending stresses using the maximum moments and the beam section properties.
