STRENGTH OF MATERIALS - TASK 2. CHAPTER 4.

1. A 20-mm-diameter solid steel shaft supports loads PA = 500 N, PC = 1,750 N, and PE = 500 N as
shown in Fig. Assume L1 = 90 mm, L2 = 260 mm, L3 = 140 mm, and L4 = 160 mm. The bearing at B
can be idealized as a roller support and the bearing at D can be idealized as a pin support.
Determine the magnitude and location of the maximum bending stress in the shaft.

 2. The moment acting on the cross section of the wide-flange beam has a magnitude of M = 12 kN-
m and is oriented as shown in Fig. Determine:
a. The bending stress at point H.
b. The bending stress at point K.
c. The orientation of the neutral axis relative to the +z axis. Show its location on a sketch of
the cross section.
