A cantilevered rectangular prismatic beam has three loads applied. 10,000N in the positive x
direction, 500N in the positive z direction and 750 in the negative y direction. You have been tasked
with analysing the stresses at three points on the beam, a, b and c.

To assess the design, you will:
a) Determine state of stress at all points (a, b and c). These points are located on the exterior
surface of the beam. Point a is located along the centreline of the beam, point b is 15mm
from the centreline and point c is located on the edge of the beam. When calculating the
stresses you must consider the stresses due to bending and transverse shear. Present your
results in a table and ensure that your sign convention is clearly shown (and applied
consistently!)

7.82 Water flows from the reservoir on the left to the reservoir
on the right at a rate of 16 cfs. The formula for the head losses
in the pipes is h₁ = 0.02(L/D)(V²/2g). What elevation in the left
reservoir is required to produce this flow? Also carefully sketch
the HGL and the EGL for the system. Note: Assume the head-loss
formula can be used for the smaller pipe as well as for the larger
pipe. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations.
