Sigma is nothing but f (bending stress).
And Z(section modulus) = bd2/6.
Then,

B.M. at fixed support is wl2/2.
M= f.(I/Y)
M=f.Z
wl2/2 = f * Z.
wl2/2 = f * bd2/6.
b= (3wl2)/fd2.

Answer C.

Bending moment at fixed =1/3 (wl^2) /2.

1/3 is because it's a triangular slab of thickness d and with b. 1 part of whole rectangle will give BM at the fixed end.

@Gupta.

Thanks for your explanation but for load w uniformly distributed from free end zero.
W=wl/2.
Which it's Mmax=wl/3 At the fixed end.
So, the answer is C.

If it is zero at the free end then it should be a uniformly varying load with zero at the free end.

How can uniformly distributed load is zero at free?

Sigma denoted by S.

And Z(section modulus) = bd2/6.

Then,

B.M. at fixed support is wl2/2.

wl2/2 = S*Z.

wl2/2 = S*bd2/6.

b= (3wl2)/Sd2.

Answer C.

s= σ(direct stress).

M= wl^2-1/2*(l*w)*2/3(l)
= wl^2/6.

But,
M=S * Z.
wl^2/6 = S * b * d^2/6.
b = wl^2/s * d^2.

Cantilever carrying UDL- BM at fixed end = wl^2 /2.
We know, M = fz.
Wl^2/2= f *(bd^2/6),
b =3wl^2/fd^2.

You are wrong @Ravi.

Load is udl.
Width is o at free end.
And asked the width at fix end.

Ravi said:   9 years ago
This is not uniform load so b.m is not (w*l^2)/2 varying load so b.m is (w*i^2)/6 answer.

Yes, @Ravi

You are correct, bm not wl^2/2. It is wl^2 /6 n final and is wl^2/(d^2*s).
