Problem 1.
The wood beam is subjected to the uniform load of w = 3 kN/m. If the allowable bending
stress for the material is σallow = 10 MPa, determine the required dimension b of its cross
section. Assume the support at A is a pin and B is a roller.

Problem 2.
The member has a cross section with the
dimensions shown. Determine the largest
internal moment M than can be applied without
exceeding allowable tensile and compressive
stresses of (σt)allow = 150 MPa, and (σc)allow =
100 MPa respectively.
