**Wood Beam Analysis**

A wood beam supports the loads shown in the diagram. The cross-sectional dimensions of the beam are depicted in the second figure. Here are the given parameters for the analysis:

- **L\_AB** = 3.7 m
- **L\_BC** = 1 m
- **L\_CD** = 1.8 m
- **w** = 12.1 kN/m
- **P** = 14.5 kN
- **b1** = 10 mm
- **b2** = 95 mm
- **d1** = 100 mm
- **d2** = 240 mm

**Objective:**
Determine:
(a) The maximum horizontal shear stress (τ\_max) in the beam.
(b) The maximum tension bending stress (σ\_max) and its location (x) in the beam.

**Parameters to be calculated:**
- **τ\_max** (kPa)
- **σ\_max** (kPa)
- Location of **σ\_max** (x-coordinate in meters)

**Diagrams Explanation:**

1. **Beam Diagram:**
   - The beam is supported at point A and has distributed loads labeled as "w" over section AB.
   - A point load "P" is applied at the midpoint of section CD.
   - The beam is divided into sections AB, BC, and CD with their respective lengths.

2. **Cross-sectional View:**
   - Shows a rectangular beam section.
   - Dimensions: 
     - **b1** (width of the top and bottom flanges) = 10 mm
     - **b2** (width of the central web) = 95 mm
     - **d1** (height of the central web) = 100 mm
     - **d2** (overall height) = 240 mm

**Answers Section:**
- The maximum horizontal shear stress (τ\_max) in kPa is to be calculated.
- The maximum bending stress (σ\_max) in kPa and its location along the x-axis in meters are to be identified.
