Follow-up Question

How did we derive the 8kN and 16kN. Please show full working out

normal stress = = =
For 8kN maximum stress is,
8x0.2
omax =
MxCx
Ix
omax =
=
MyCx
Iy
40
0.8×0.4
1 -×0.8×0.4²
12
For 16kN, maximum stress :
=
16x0.4
1 -×0.4×0.8²
12
Normal stress at point C is largest,
Oc =
125 - 375 375 = −875kPa
= 125k
25k { c
= 375kPa
= 375kPa
