A cantilever timber beam with a span of L = 3.5 m supports a uniformly distributed load w. The beam width is b = 260 mm and the beam height is h = 150 mm. The allowable bending stress of the wood is 6.1 MPa. Determine the magnitude of the maximum load w that may be carried by the beam. Answer: w= L b kN/m.
