The figure shows a reinforced wooden beam with an aluminum channel section as seen in the figure. The beam has a cross section with dimensions of 6 in. by 10 in., and the channel has a uniform thickness of 0.25 in. If the allowable stresses in wood and aluminum are 1160 psi and 5500 psi, respectively, and if their moduli of elasticity have a ratio of 1 to 6, what is the maximum allowable bending moment for the beam?
