9. A horizontal cantilever 3m long is of rectangular cross-section 60mm wide throughout its length, the depth varying uniformly from 60mm at the free end to 180mm at the fixed end. A load of 4KN acts at the free end. Find the position of the most highly stressed section, and find the value of the maximum bending stress induced. Neglect the weight of the cantilever itself. 4KN 3m 180mm d mm X 60mm (41.67MPa)
