Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Description:**
Two vertical forces, each of magnitude \( P = 26 \) kips, are applied to a beam of the cross-section shown. Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in portion \( BC \) of the beam.
**Diagrams:**
1. **Cross-section of the Beam:**
- The cross-section resembles an I-beam with the following dimensions:
- Overall height of the section is 8 inches.
- Thickness of the top and bottom flanges is 1 inch.
- Width of the bottom flange is 4 inches.
- Web thickness is 1 inch.
- Depth of the web (distance between flanges) is 6 inches.
2. **Beam Diagram:**
- A simply supported beam \( AD \) with \( AB = 20 \) in., \( BC = 60 \) in., and \( CD = 20 \) in.
- Two forces \( P \) (26 kips each) are applied vertically downward on the beam at points \( B \) and \( C \).
- Supports are located at points \( A \) and \( D \).
**Calculations Required:**
- Determine the maximum tensile stress (\(\text{ksi}\)) in portion \( BC \).
- Determine the maximum compressive stress (\(\text{ksi}\)) in portion \( BC \).
(Note: The fill-in-the-blank areas in the original problem prompt need to be calculated based on beam theory or provided solutions for the given scenario.)
