QUESTION 1 [25 points] Consider a beam cross-section in Figure Q1. The beam is subjected to unsymmetrical bending. The beam is loaded in such a way that the maximum moments are +1.5PNm and ?1.1PNm, where P is the point load in Newtons, applied mid-span. The moment of inertia is 18000cm4 for the beam. Determine the maximum safe value of "P" if the working stresses are ?c?=12kPa in compression, and ?t?=3.5kPa in tension. Figure 01.
