1. Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the cantilever. From these diagrams, the internal shear force V and the internal bending moment M acting at the point of interest will be determined.

2. Determine the section properties for the tee shape. Since the shape is not symmetric about the axis of bending, the location of the centroid must first be determined. Once the centroid location is know, the moment of inertia about the centroidal axis must be determined.

3. At the point of interest, compute the bending stress σ using the flexure formula.
