Load P = 1.6 lb is produced at the tip of a mallet as a percussionist strikes an instrument. The tip of the mallet is a rubber ball. The wooden shaft has a diameter of 0.25 in. and a length of L = 4.4 in. from the center of the tip to the percussionist’s hand. Assuming the percussionist’s hand acts like a fixed support, determine the maximum bending stress in the shaft.

Load P = 0.5 lb is produced at the tip of a mallet as a percussionist strikes an instrument. The tip of the mallet is a rubber ball. The wooden shaft has a diameter of 0.30 in. and a length of L = 5.6 in. from the center of the tip to the percussionist’s hand. Assuming the percussionist’s hand acts like a fixed support, determine the maximum bending stress in the shaft.
