a) A simply supported beam has a symmetrical rectangular cross-section. If the second moment of area (I) of a beam with a rectangular cross-section is 11.50 x 106 mm4 about its centroidal x-axis and the depth dimension (d) of the rectangular section is 180 mm, determine the breadth dimension (b) for this beam section. Give your answer in millimetres (mm) and to 2 decimal places. Assume the beam section material is homogeneous. b) The same rectangular cross-section beam in Q2b is subjected to a maximum bending moment of 25,000 Nm and experiences sagging. Assuming that the centroidal axis passes through the beam section at (d/2), calculate the maximum bending stress (σmax) the beam will experience. Give your answer in N/mm2 and to 2 decimal places.
