Bending stress = M/Z.

Tensile stress = P/A.

From question,

Bending stress = Tensile stress.

i.e. M/Z = P/A.

M = PL/4.

Z = pi*d^3/32.

A = pi*d^2/4.

After putting these value, we get,

L/d = 1/2.

For a simply supported beam with load at mid-span having length L .

Then Moment at the centre is (P/2*L/2)= PL/4.

M is a moment in simply supported beam by point load at mid-span having length L,

Then, M=PL/4.

How it is possible that the span is half of its dia? Please explain me.
