Suppose we know little about the strength of materials butare told that the bending stress σ in a beam is proportionalto the beam half-thickness y and also depends on thebending moment M and the beam area moment of inertiaI . We also learn that, for the particular case M = 2900in ∙ lbf, y = 1.5 in, and I = 0.4 in4 , the predicted stressis 75 MPa. Using this information and dimensional reasoningonly, find, to three significant figures, the onlypossible dimensionally homogeneous formula σ=y f ( M , I ).
