![Typically, an aircraft wing is supported by a single structural spar attached to the main fuselage at the wing root as
shown. This arrangement can be idealized as a cantilever beam with a loading distribution characterizing wing pressure.
In general, holes are introduced to the structural members to reduce the overall weight of the wing (observe the rib
sections shown in B). For the idealized beam arrangement (shown in the C), assume that the cross section of the spar is
uniform and has a rectangular cross section (2" x 16"). The material is 2016-T6 Aluminum.
If four 7" diameter holes are introduced to the beam (as shown in C, below), what is the maximum increase in normal
stress? Ignore the effect of transverse shear.
