Load P = 0.6 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 0.28 in. and a length of L = 5.1 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.

A composite beam consists of a Southern pine [E = 8.5 GPa] timber that is reinforced on its lower surface by a steel [E = 200 GPa] plate. Assume the following dimensions:b1 = 175 mmd = 325 mmb2 = 125 mmt = 18 mmCalculate the distance to the centroid of the transformed section from the bottom surface of the steel plate.

If Mz = 13,000 lb-ft, find the magnitude of the bending stress at a point H. For the beam cross section, assume b = 6.250 in. c = 2.500 in. d = 4.375 in.t = 0.625 in. The centroid of the cross section is located 2.321 in. above the bottom surface of the beam. The moment of inertia about the z axis is 27.9309 in.4.
