5.
The section modulus of a rectangular light beam 25 metres long is 12.500 cm3. The beam is simply supported at its ends and carries a longitudinal axial tensile load of 10 tonnes in addition to a point load of 4 tonnes at the centre. The maximum stress in the bottom most fibre at the mid span section, is
13.33 kg/cm2 tensile
13.33 kg/cm2 compressive
26.67 kg/cm2 tensile
26.67 kg/cm2 compressive
none of these.

Area calculate from bending equation M = f * Z and f = force/area.

@Vipin Sainath.

Why Σ = (M/Z)*(P/A)?

@Shraddha @Kajal.

P/A represents stress.
The bending formula:
M/I = f/y.
Stress f = P/A.
Section Modulus Z = I/y.

Why using m/z+p/a?

It is like bending stress=M/Z know from the flexural formula. Am I right?
