Q.2) A simple beam of span length 3.2 m carries a uniform load of intensity 48 kN/m. The cross section of the beam is a hollow with wood flanges and steel side plates, as shown in the figure below. The wood flanges (E = 10 GPa) are 75 mm by 100 mm in cross section, and the steel plates (E = 210 GPa) are 300 mm deep. What is the required thickness t of the steel plates if the allowable stresses are 120 MPa for the steel and 6.5 MPa for the wood?
