A (160+Reg. No.) kN force is applied as shown at the end of a hot-rolled steel beam.

Neglecting
the effect of fillets and of stress concentrations, perform calculations in MS excel or MATLAB
for the principal stresses in the beam to satisfy a design specification that they be equal to or
less than 150 MPa. If the principal stresses are more than the given value, what would you
change in the beam so that satisfy the required stresses
