Scenario: Imagine yourself standing up right at the center of a rectangular bar with thickness of 3in, length and width of 8ft x 2ft respectively. The bar's 2 end points are support by two 4' x 4' x 4' block of wood. Challenge: a. Draw the scenario(use fbd in the stress analysis) b. Compute the stress on the center of the bar. Note: use your actual weight. c. Compute the stresses on the two end points of the bar. d. What is the induced force on the two support, in kilograms?
